    Is there a quick way to make all formulas as static text?

    Hi,

    I have many tabs in a file and want to send the file as simple text/number values without any formulas. Can I ask how to make this happen without having to do one by one copy paste?

    Thanks a lot.

    Try this small macro:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Macros are very easy to install and use:

    1. ALT-F11 brings up the VBE window
    2. ALT-I
    ALT-M opens a fresh module
    3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

    If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.
    If you are using a version of Excel later then 2003, you must save
    the file as .xlsm rather than .xlsx

    To remove the macro:

    1. bring up the VBE window as above
    2. clear the code out
    3. close the VBE window

    To use the macro from Excel:

    1. ALT-F8
    2. Select the macro
    3. Touch RUN

    To learn more about macros in general, see:

    Macros must be enabled for this to work!

    Easy way -

    1. Select the first sheet. Press Shift and select the last sheet. This will select all the sheets.

    2. Press Ctrl A - this will select all the data (all the cells in all the sheets).

    3. Perform a copy paste special operation as usual.
