I am a newbie at Excel 2007 and I need help and I am stumped..
On my worksheet, I have 50 items to sort and put in order from the highest
to the lowest.
I then need to put the 3 highest and the 3 lowest parts of the sorted data
in cetain cells of the spreadsheet.
Cells A45 and B45 are formatted for text. The text in A45 runs into B45.
Example faucets:12345.
Cells C45, D45 and E45 are fromatted as currency,
C45 and D45 are for $ data.
E45 is C45-D45.
My problem is: locations: A23 and B23. I would like the contents of A45 to
E45 to be copied to A23:B23.
Example : contents of A45 and B45 copied to A23 and B23, C45 to C23, D45 to
D23 and E45 to C45.
I have no problems with cells C45 to E45.
My problem is with cells A45 and B45. I typed in =A45 in cell A23 and the
contents in A45 do not transfer to A23.
The contents for C45:E45 transfer just fine to C23:E23.
I have treid clearing out the contents in A45:B45 and retyping the data and
no luck.
If I use a new worksheet and try to do the same thing as practice,
everything is copied to the correct cell. It works fine.
I can copy and paste my data to the other parts of the spreadsheet but it
would be nice for excel to do it for me.
Thanks
 
Charles,
Have you tried this:
In cell A23 type "=A45", cell B23 type "=B45" or
Select cell A45 thru E45, edit, copy and select A23 and paste.
