Why does my formula turn grey when trying to link data from one sheet to the other..???
Hi there...
I have been trying to put data from one excel sheet on another
I do not want to copy paste cause I want it to stay connected
Therefore, using = and selecting the cells I want to copy from one sheet to the other
However, now what happens is that it is pasted in such a way where the formula turns grey and i can't make any changes (e.g. deleting a column)...
I used to never have this problem
So what can I do to simply copy the values into another sheet, while it still says / shows the location of the other sheet, but the formula is black / i can make changed
Hope this makes sense

It sounds like the active cell is within a spill but it's not the top-leftmost cell in the spill.
For example:
In the above, to change the formula I must do so in E1.
