copy only answer not formula

Posted by Ben on September 22, 2001 1:08 AM

i want to copy the formula answer from one cell to another, however i do not want this formula to be copied aswell. Is there any way to do this, thanx in anticipation!

Do you only want to copy the result of a formula? If so, click on that cell you want to copy, then click Edit > Copy, then select your destination cell and click Edit > Paste special > Values, and click OK. Hit the Esc key to get out of copy mode.

Is this what you want or am I missing something?

No problem, hopefully this will help then

No problem, here's what a simple one would look like in VB. Modify as needed.

Sub CopyPSV_Example()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("C4").Copy
Range("G8").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Any help?

Or, more simply ........

Instead of 6 lines of code, you can just use 1 line :-

Range("G8").Value = Range("C4")
