    Question Refreshing/triggering a cell?

    ="=ROUNDUP("&"50.42"&",0)"

    I take this paste text only to get:

    =ROUNDUP(50.42,0)

    this wont work normally until i open the cell and press enter.

    Any way I could do that for more than 1 cell at a time?

    I am unable to understand what you are trying to do

    What is the use of & symbol in your formula?

    Please explain

    are they in any sequence?
    in 1 column?

    I am crafting the formula with other formulas... The problem is when i paste text only, and get with the final formula it won't trigger.

    Just try it.

    Copy the first thing in my first post. and paste text only.
    Now you get a formula.
    How do i get that to work other than opening a cell and pressing Enter.

    P.S.

    if they align in one column
    you can text to column>finish and all the cells should update

    Seems like you are using the new function introduced in 2013 (i.e.) FormulaText() which will get the formula used in another cell.

    So Copy pasting the arrived formula will put the formula as text. Pressing F2 and enter will convert the Text formula to act as a formula.

    Am I right?

    If so select the range (Only one Column Range) Press Alt+D+E and Press Next and Press Next and Click Finish

    cool, between that and transponse I think I'll be ok.

    You'd think just changing the cell format would get it to trigger.

    Thank you.
