Hello,

I'm starting to sweat over something I just discovered. An Excel workbook with a Form as the first worksheet and the values transferred to the second worksheet that I created in Excel 2013 no longer transfers the values from the first worksheet to the second worksheet.

What is going on!

Is there a way I can force this work correctly? Or, is there a way to transform the 2013 workbook to a 2016 workbook?

Thanks,

George Teachman

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Have you tried saving the 2013 workbook as a 2016 xlsm workbook ??
What code are you using in the 2013 ?

Michael,

There doesn't seem to be an option to save a workbook to a 2016 version.

There really isn't any VBA involved here. The first worksheet is named Front the second worksheet is named DES. The cells in DES have the following generalized formula. =IF(Front!K6="","",Front!K6). Nothing fancy. I have noticed if I go to another cell and use the same formula, it works. If I copy that cell to the original position in the DES worksheet the formula now works. This is driving me nuts. Since there are hundreds of these kinds of cells I really don't want to type the formula in some non-used cell and back again.

Thanks,
George Teachman
