Hi!

I have a worksheet that has formulas and data
already in it. I want to make a template out of it, so that the formulas stay and the
data is cleared out. I will then use this
template at the beginning of each fiscal year to create a clean worksheet.

Can you help me with this? Or tell me where to get info on this?

Thanks

You can save it as a template. File, Save as, and when the save window pops up, change the save file to "template".

To open it go to File, New, and open your template.

I hope this is what you were looking for.

I saved it as a template. But when I look at it it stills has the values that were there originally. The problem is if I clear out the cells the formula is cleared out too.

What do I do?

Thanks, HunterN

Don't clear the cells containing the formulas. Clear the cells the formula reads.......

You need to make a blank template that carries in the formulas req but no data
and work from there,
