    Question Extract the value of a cell without a cell reference

    I'm trying to extract the value (both text strings and numbers) from a cell and put it into another cell without creating a reference.

    The cell I am extracting from I will want to change, but I want the value in the new cell to stay the same when I change the first...

    The reason for this is to record a Macro to populate a row with values from a column. It works fine, but when i run the macro (with relative references) the values taken from the first row also change....

    any ideas? basically just need to take the contents of the cell...

    Thanks in advance

    Re: Extract the value of a cell without a cell reference

    Your wording is a bit confusing, so I may be understanding correctly. If you are using a macro, as you indicate, then simply copy the values of the source cells and don't use cell references in the code.

    Outside of VBA, it is impossible to not change the values of cells that reference other cells. You must either manually or with code, copy values or convert formulas to values.

    Post a sample workbook and provide a clearer explanation of what you're trying to accomplish. Include examples of expected results in the sample workbook.
