When QB Premier & Hosted export an Excel spreadsheet, formulas always contain refence to a tab name - usually 'Sheet1!'. This means that if the content of the tab is copied and pasted, it refers to the original spreadsheet. This can be a nuisance. The problem can be fixed by a "search & replace" but it would be better if this is not needed. Having the tab reference in the formula serves no purpose and it's a nuisance. Stop it.
