What is the command to replace a cell's formula with it's value?
Without regard to paste special and the F2/F9 approach, why would there not be a function that returns the value of a cell for use in other formulas? The only solution appears to be a script. For example if you want to check for a value in a formula, or if you want to cross multiple work sheets with a list controled index, or if you want to use conditional statements based on the value derived by formula? |

Not sure I follow.
Let A1 = 2 and B1 =3 So C1 with formula =A1+B1 will return 5 I can test the value in C1: in D1 enter =IF(C1=5,"it is five", "it is not five") But you could mean something else. Care to expand your question with an example? best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "sgeer" wrote in message ...
