    Re: Cut and paste without getting =#REFERENCE in depending formulas

    Hi Richard,

    The area I am copying from (A2 in my example) is actually a list of posts which I am pasting into the calculation/area (A1:B1 in my example).
    One by one or a group of posts but seldom the entire list.
    The reason that I would prefer cut and paste that then would posts "automatically" disappear from the list when I've started processing them.

    Kind regards Marcus

    OK Marcus, understood.

    I don't know why it works that way. Frankly I've never noticed before what I agree seems somewhat odd behaviour.

    You could use the following simple macro attached to either a button or probably better make it a shortcut key combination like say Ctrl j , (just don't use one of the application reserved letters like say c, x etc.)

    Sub CutWorkAround()
        Dim r As Range
        Set r = Selection
        Selection.Copy Destination:=Range("A1:B1")
        r.ClearContents
    End Sub
