    Copying a Formula and Want to Paste it as Text Only

    I have one spreadsheet I'm conducting a Vlookup on, but I will be deleting the source data spreadsheet and wish to copy over only the results of the equation and paste it into a second spreadsheet as a text only, showing the result in the cell without the equation behind it.

    For example:

    1st spreadsheet with source data:
    2 = 1 + 1

    2nd spreadsheet with text result only:
    2

    Thank You.
