I am copying a group of cells and want to paste the values into another excel worksheet. If I do paste then this works, unfortunately giving me #REF (they are referenced cells). I only want the values copied. Trying Paste Special Values results in an error - cells must be identically sized. I have resized the target to no avail, Any thoughts? All other Paste Special options (formulas, formats, comments etc.) work fine, i just want the values!
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Did you try just selecting one cell when your pasting (versus the same range of cells)?

Regards,
Nate

Hi AWH
Try a normal paste from a single cell to a merged cell, this seems to convert a formula to a value when I do it. If you need the formula, do a paste special formula.

Going the other way (merged cell to single) seems trickier. I would type = in the single cell then select the merged cell and press Enter. Then select the formula in the single cell, copy and paste it back special values.
Hope this helps
Derek
