Template of sheet with a form: how to do a blank sheet yet retain formulas

Dennis M Wierzbicki · 05/19/22

I have a sheet with many, many formulas within it. How do I start with a blank sheet that retains these formulas, so I can fill it out with a form?

The original sheet works great when adding rows with a form, because at least the final two rows have identical formulas, but the new sheet, there are no existing rows with formulas.

I know I'm missing something simple, but can't figure out what this is.

Thanks, Dennis

You can right click a column and "Convert column to formula" this will lock formulas into templates you create from that sheet. One thing to note is the are a few rules as explained here

Dan, thanks, but I don't see that option when I right click on a colum:

Thanks.
