Description samtuke 2017-12-22 23:19:49 UTC
Description:
When copying and pasting cells which contain formulas between two sheets of the same document, the values are inserted literally, instead of pasting the formulas with references to the original sheet, as expected. By default, references should be used instead of literal values.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create some calculations using formulas and cell references within sheet #1
2. Create sheet #2 in the same document and copy the cells from sheet #1
3. Double click the pasted cells and observe the values are literal numbers -- the formulas are gone

Actual Results:  
Formulas are lost and literal values are inserted

Expected Results:
Formulas are inserted, with automatically updated cell references pointing to sheet #1 in the same document.


Reproducible: Always

Hi thank you for reporting but when you want to past formula to another sheet, you will need the past special option and you click formula and this will copy your formula to sheet #2 and update automatic the values in that sheet

Sample file for test purposes

Attached a sample file with one sheet with formulas.
Creating a second sheet and copying formulas from sheet1 to sheet2, works fine for me.

You can't confirm your own bugs. Moving it back to UNCONFIRMED until someone
else confirms it.
