I have a spreadsheet for our sales department. It contains some complex formulas for figuring all of their sales totals and all of that good stuff. They want a new version of this spreadsheet to work off of for 2004. I thought I would just save a copy of the spreadsheet then delete the data. Well, when I delete the data, it deletes the formulas as well.....How can I prevent that from happening???

Thanks.

Select the whole spread sheet and copy to clipboard

open new spreadsheet and "paste special value", click on formulas only, save as "whatever

Just a thought after doing all of that

Save a copy of the blank shet as a Template for 2005 maybe?
