    How to make whole spreadsheet hard numbers and remove all formulas

    I want to make all of my data hard numbers, remove formulas or all reference values, similar to Copy and special paste but without doing it with copy and special paste, can I just do whole spreadsheet hard numbers with any function?

    Why don’t you want to use copy paste special values? I mean that might take two or three seconds.

    Re: How to make whole spreadsheet hard numbers and remove all formulas

    I have around 6 separate spreadsheets, that I need regularly to remove referenced values or formulas, I am guessing I cant do it without opening them one by one, so I thought at least there might be function to hardcode numbers automatically without choosing all cells and pasting back. So there is not that option right?

    Are you saying that it is one workbook with six sheets in it or is it six separate workbooks?

    yes six separate workbooks, basically I have one master excel file and 6 other excel files that are getting filled form master file, ideally once filled I want all of dependent files to have hardcoded numbers with minimal effort. So far only option I see is opening them one by one and copy pasting as hardnumbers

    Since you have not provided any data to test, here is some untested VBA for each file

    If you don't want to manual working every time, why not link up workbook from master file, you need only add one column as Pick Data & mentioned as PICK which you extract into your workbook. If you provide sample with dummy data master file & workbook that's more effective.
