Paste Special, Paste Link question -- blank cells - Microsoft Community


using ms office excel 2016, when using paste special, paste link function, why when copying blank cells (formatted date) 1 workbook , worksheet (i'll call "1st") , pasting link workbook , worksheet (i'll call "2nd") cells in workbook & worksheet filled "1/1/1900?"  realize excel calculates cells formatted dates starting number 1 (1/1/1900), if 1st workbook , worksheet has no date, why 2nd workbook , worksheet filled date "1/1/1900" (1)?

can "1/1/1900" scenario avoided , if so, how?  thank insight.

instead of copying block , pasting links, make 1 formula , copy same size block.  the values update same - formula link, though it is not simple link results paste links.

when create link, type

=if(

and navigate other sheet , select top l;eft cell.  press f4 until address changes form without $s (a1 instead of $a$1, example), type

=0,"",

and renavigate cell again, , press f4 a1 again, ,  type

)

and press enter.
