Copy links

I use link between sheets a lot.

Sometime I have to link to the same cell a lot of times - but it is not possible to just copy another cell with a link.

Could this be a possibility? It would make my work much easier, since it takes time to make the link to another cell in another sheet.

Thanks.

Hi Ida-- I'm a little unclear on your question, so I'll give answering it a shot and let you know if you're unclear on anything or if I went in completely the wrong direction!

If you copy cells from one sheet, you can right-click on your desired location in another sheet and use Paste Special to paste the cells with a link to the source sheet. If you want to link the same cell from a source sheet to multiple destination sheets, you can copy it once, then paste multiple times in the destination sheet or across multiple destination sheets. Hope that helps!

Hi, thank you for your answer.

I tried the "Paste special" but this only copies the format of the text.

I will try to explain more explicit

I have a smartsheet with a lot of drawing numbers - in this smartsheet i update my drawing numbers.

To avoid having to correct the drawing numbers in many different sheets, I link from other sheets to the drawing-number-sheet.

I have a sheet where the same items have different colors - but still the same drawing number.

Now I have to right click, link from cell to other sheet, find the sheet+cell - and I have to do this every time, even though some use the same drawing number.

When I try to copy the drawing number+link, it only copies the number - the link to the other sheet is lost.
