Problem with Paste Link

Have a file with multiple worksheets.

On the Index page I have the company name linked to the sheet for that company, so i can instantly go to the sheet I want. That works fine

In the next column to the company name on the Index page I have a monetary figure I copy from the company sheet and Paste Link onto the index page - That has worked fine - the figure changing as the money goes up or down

I recently (as I have started courses on here) converted the Index page to a Table.... because I could.. stupid me!

Today I added a new company, new sheet for the the company. When I added a new line to the Index sheet, the company name hyperlinked fine... but when I tried to copy and paste/link the numerical figure  the paste link button was "greyed" out.

I have tried clearing the table formatting - think it's been done; Tried shut down and re-start - nothing; 

When I try to copy and paste link into another part of the Index sheet that's not been part of the table... it works fine...

I think it has to be something to do with my formatting as a table, but what I have no idea..... Help!

Thanks

Rob

Hi Rob,

It's difficult to troubleshoot without the file. Have you tried just adding the formula rather than copying it from another cell? i.e. type = in the cell, then click on the cell in the sheet you want returned.

Thanks for the suggestion, but problem now solved - just because I'd cleared the table I assumed that it had cleared the format, but because Paste link would not work inside the columns but would work on blank cells outside the columns I figured that it had to be something to do with table - some googling revealed that I needed to convert to a range - never heard of it - that seemed to work, so another lesson learnt!
