How do I prevent my sheet from "updating all my formulas across the sheet
so i have 4 "Tables" in A Sheet -
2 use a SUMIF( using quantities and one using %%) and
2 use a ERRORIF ( 1 uses qties and 1 uses %%)
But when i fix a formula in one cell it updates the whole sheet to be the same as i have just done
I have even tried retyping the formula into a new cell but the same thing happens
all the formulas are referencing the same sheet just pulling and reporting different types of data for the tables

I hope you're well and safe!
It sounds like you're using the Column Formula feature, so when you change a formula in one cell in the column, all will update.
To make changes to individual cells, you'd either have to change it back to cell-based by selecting, Convert to Cell Formula or structure the formula to check for something like the level or something else to identify what the formula should do.
Make sense?
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!

HI Andree
Yes we are very well and safe here in Western Australia.
What i did was when linking to a sheet ( the same sheet) i changed the name of the range to avoid it changing- your way looks so much easier so will remember that for my next sheet :-)
again as always you have been a big help!!
