    Copy text from cell with formula

    If I have a cell A1 with a formula e.g. =MID(B1,2,4)

    The content of B1 is benjamin, so the result of the formula in A1 would be "njam"

    If i try to copy the content of the cell by right clicking, I only copy the formula =MID(B1,2,4).

    How do I copy the string "njam"?

    • Right-click on the formula cell
    • Select COPY
    • Right-click on the destination cell
    • Select: Paste Special...Check: Values...Click: OK

    Does that help?

    Re: Copy text from cell with formula

    I think you mean
    In A1
    =MID(B1,3,4)

    Copy A1
    Select your destination cell
    Paste > Paste Values

    or
    Paste > Paste Special..... Select Values

    Hope this helps
