Common errors and fixes
A recipient received the wrong worksheet
Multi-sheet workbooks often mix vendor, client, and internal tabs in one file.
Open the ZIP manifest before sending files and share only the worksheet file meant for that recipient.
Formulas do not recalculate after splitting
Separated sheets may lose context from formulas that refer to other worksheets.
Convert formulas to values or keep dependent sheets together before splitting the workbook.
