Copy formula from Excel to Notepad++ - excel

I tested some kinds of copying - but i copy just values instead formulas. Is there any way to copy Excel formula from multiple cells and paste it into a text document?

If you go to Formulas card, inside Formulas Auditing section there is a button Show Formulas.
Once you enabled it (clicked on it) you'll be able to copy formula from Excel to Notepad ++.

In Excel, choose Options from the Tools menu. Excel displays the
Options dialog box. Make sure the View tab is selected.
Ensure that
the Formulas check box is selected.
Click on OK. Excel should now be
displaying formulas.
Select the cells whose formulas you want to copy
to Notepad.
Press Ctrl+C to copy the cells to the Clipboard.

Paste formatting loses formatting in excel

I have two excel sheets (excel 2019)
source_file.xlsx. You can find my source sheet here
dest_file.xlsx
Am trying to split the data from source_file.xlsx and save it as multiple dest_files such as
dest_file1.xlsx, dest_file2.xlsx, dest_file3.xlsx
Later, I manually try to paste the formatting from source_file.xlsx to each of dest_files
My source file looks like below
So, I did the below in source_file.xlsx
CTRL+A --> CTRL+C
Navigated to dest_file1.xlsx and did the below
CTRL+V and choose the below
But the problem is, this doesn't copy the colors from source_file.xlsx and paste it in dest_file1.xlsx
Can I seek your help to understand what could be the problem?
That doesn't look like true formatting. Rather, it looks like an Excel table which has formatting of it's own but is governed by table rules instead of something like color this one cell green. In your multiple dest_files, click any cell and then Home > Format as Table.

How to modify the value of a formula with a macro in an excel?

I have an excel file that has different formulas. What I am looking for is to modify only one element of that formula since due to the process that I am working on, the formula could change, but the period (eg 202112) is a field that must always exist, so I think I could not generate the formulas with a macro, since these are modified by another user. Is it possible to add a variable to the formula and update/change the value by pressing a button?
The following table is only to explain what I need, it is too simple, but it is not to enter the long formulas.
I would like to assign a macro to the button so that when pressing it the value of the variable "Period" is updated, for example 202112
Without using macro you should change the excel recalculates settings;
-In Excel, click the Microsoft Office Button, click Excel Options, and then click the Formulas category and in the Calculation options section, under Workbook Calculation, click Manual and uncheck the checkbox.
Use this formula for your Ids+Period column;
=B2&C2&TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyymm")
To update your cell formula (or date). You should click the cell and after that command line and click enter. Done!

Hide formulas in excel without protecting the sheet

I need to hid the formulas in my sheet without protecting the sheet,say i have sheet 1 in that i need to hide the formulas from range(A1:G10) i can hide the formula but iam not able to provide input for the whole sheet
My requirement is to hide the selected cells formulas and able to give inputs for other cells in the same sheet how can i achieve this.
Select the whole sheet, right click and then select Format Cells.... In the popup window, select Protection tab. Unselect both options and press OK button. This will unlock all cells on the sheet as by default all cells are locked. Next, select your range, repeat the above process again but this time ensure that both options (Locked and Hidden) are selected this time and press OK. Now protect your sheet (in Excel 2013, select the REVIEW tab and select Protect Sheet option and follow the steps).
This will hide your formulas and stop anyone changing the values in the protected cells

Combine some excels as sheets into one excel

Suppose, I have three Excel files, say Excel_1, Excel_2, Excel_3, how to quickly combine them to a new Excel with three sheets such that, sheet_1 is Excel_1; sheet _2 is Excel_2; sheet_3 is Excel_3.
Manually speaking:
Open all Excel files.
Right-click on the sheet, select "move or copy" and in the new window select your Excel-file which shall hold the sheets. Click Ok.
Just Drag the sheets to new excel file.
Open all the excel sheets you want to merge, then at the bottom left you can see the sheet name, drag that sheet and point to the minimised excel icon in the taskbar, then point to the excel sheet you want to paste the sheet, when that sheet comes up just release the mouse. All done

excel batch pasting formulas

I have a list of documents that I want to paste relative links to in Excel. I converted the list to a list of Excel formulas that look like
=HYPERLINK(".\docs\123abc\1.doc","1.doc")
=HYPERLINK(".\docs\456abc\1.doc","1.doc")
However when I paste this in Excel it will paste the text for the formula and not actually make it a formula. I have tried creating a macro to set each cell's FormulaR1C1 value as the value from the text in the cell and that didn't fix it. As well I have tried to copy and paste special as forumla and that did nothing either.
If I type in each formula by hand instead of copying and pasting them it works great, however the list of forumlas I have is a couple hundred and I would prefer not to have to type each one in by hand. Does anyone have any experience with this or suggestions on getting the forumla to register?
Before pasting the formulas,
Select all cells in worksheet
Right click and select "Format Cells..."
In the Number tab page, select General and click OK button.
Paste your formulas list.
