Replace data in a sheet (same workbook)

Jenina

Hello - 

 

I am trying to replace the data in Sheet1 from Sheet2 range A2:B6.

I used the formula tool: Replace([FileName], "`Sheet2`", 'Sheet1$A21:B60') 

Change entire file path to Full path.

But I am still not getting it, looks like I am missing something.

 

 

Thanks for the help.

Is the formula above doing the Replace function? It looks like you might have extra apostrophes around Sheet2 that I am thinking is not making the Replace function work

@alexnajm I tried removing the extra ones but still not working, looks like it won't accept my range.

Can you send over the before and after result of your formula?

It's returning an error 'sheet1$a21:b60$ is an invalid sheet range specification for excel

I’m not at my computer right now, but the path should look like “…output.xlsx|||Sheet1$A21:B60”

 

if it looks different, please show us the value so we can look further!
