My guess is they want to "freeze" dates. I guess other situations might prompt this inquiry, but for many newcomers, experience with formulas begins, and ends, with Today(), or Now().
Copy your data. Go to another sheet or somewhere else on your sheet. Edit/Paste Special and tick Values. You will now have the values only but your original formulas will be intact.
I believe the reason for copying your "in tact" data to another spread sheet or coping it to another range (as VoG™ states) of your worksheet(before you convert) is that once converted to values and saved...its done ...I don't think you can get reconverted values back to formulars...it won't come "back from the grave"....
