Conditional Formatting Problem After Copy Sheet

Hi, I have created the attached files to manage staff attendance. Each file
with the name of the office must have 12 sheets with the name of the month
in UPPER CASE. When I copy JANUARY and save it with the name FEBRUARY, in
the conditional formatting, in the range E6: AI30 it should leave the
comparison reference with the SIGLE sheet (ex. $ SIGLE. $ A $ 1 etc.)
instead I find the name of the sheet just copied (eg. FEBRUARY). The result
is that I would have to copy the format by hand but I tried to automate
everything. For the other ranges in the list it works. I think it's a bug
with the program.

Greetings,
This is something LO does differently from Excel. When you copy a sheet
in Excel that references another sheet, the source sheet used for
calculations (like Sheet2!A3) remains the same. However, in LO, the
sheet reference is converted in a way similar to copying a formula on a
sheet: a reference to A1:C1 becomes A2:C2 if copied in the next row
below. In your case, what seems to be happening is when you copy
"GENNAIO" to "FEBBRAIO", LO keeps the reference to the relative sheet
in the workbook as opposed to the absolute sheet, and then references
to SIGLE.something change. To fix this, you need to prefix page
references with the "$" sign, like for cell references. So SIGLE.A4
becomes $SIGLE.a4.
I hope this helps.Rémy.
