It's difficult to know without being aware of all details, but here 
are some ideas:

o Copy and paste using Paste Special, as you suggest, but tick the 
Link option in the Paste Special dialogue. That way, the new sheet 
will refer back to values in the original.

o Make a complete copy of the original sheet: right-click the sheet 
tab and select Move/Copy Sheet... . Delete material from both sheets 
as required.

o Use a careful combination of the above schemes.

If your spreadsheet is sensibly designed, correcting any formulae 
should generally require attention only to one instance and the use 
of the Fill function.

I trust this helps.
