In my macro enabled 365 workbook, in column G, I have a range of cells (G2 - G10) that contain formula to create text stings in those cells based on values elsehere in the workbook. I want my coworkers to be able to copy the text from these cells and then paste that string into a clinical application (a bit like pasting into Word). I dont want to show the text to be copied in the cell as it is quite long and looks messy in the workbook, but instead show an icon to indicate that there is text to copy. Is that possible?
