Hi, wondering if anyone can help me. I've created a spreadsheet and the first sheet is my totals sheet, this sheet has formulas that lookup values in sheet2 thru sheet99. I've saved this spreadsheet as my master copy. I need to open new spreadsheets from time to time and copy these sheets from the master copy to the new spreadsheet, but when I do this, my first sheet in the new spreadsheet is looking up those values in the master copy spreadsheet, I don't want that, I want it to lookup the values in the new spreadsheet I've copied to...please help

Hi
1.Don't put formula with file name (sheet name is exceptional) in first sheet.
(Eg. ='D:\Others\[Master Sheet.xlsx]Sheet2'!$H$4+'D:\Others\[Master Sheet.xlsx]Sheet3'!$H$4)
Put formula as "='Sheet2'!H4+'Sheet3'!H4" without file name. And dont delete sheets 2 to 99.
2. Or else forward the Master Sheet
