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.......
