    Re: pick and retain values of cells

    When you use a formula to extract data from one sheet to another, the value displayed by that formula will always be whatever the cells on the other sheet calculate to. So if you want to retain a value that the formula produces you would need to put that value in a different cell as only a value. You cannot keep using the same cell with the formula and expect it to be static when the precedent cells on the other sheet are being changed. If you are finished with the cell you want to keep, you can copy, paste special, values to eliminate the formula and just keep the value.

    Any code provided by me should be tested on a copy or a mock up of your original data before applying it to the original. Some events in VBA cannot be reversed with the undo facility in Excel. If your original post is satisfied, please mark the thread as "Solved". To upload a file, see the banner at top of this page.

    PasteSpecial cannot be applied with a formula. You have to do it manually or with VBA/VBS code. Probably, in your case, the easiest way is to just manually type the value you want to keep into the same cell where it is displayed, That will kill the formula and make it value only.
