    Trying to replace cell formula with just its value after the calculation is complete

    Hi, I am trying to create a function that I can use on any cell in my workbook. I want it to essentially copy the cell and paste special the value back into the same cell. I am trying to do so with the following code but its not working:

    Actually I realized I worded my question kind of incorrectly. I want to create a converter function that I can use in some cells.

    For example cell A3 = ConverterFunction(A1+A2)

    This would leave me just the value of the formula instead of the formula in the cell itself. When I tried using this function with the ActiveCell property it just gives me a value error.

    OK, that's a little more difficult. A customer function (UDF) works the same as any other function - it will stay present in the cell until you write over it as we've discussed above.

    If you need just values in specific cells you could maybe use a worksheet_change event to drive a macro to do this for you. Are there specific cells that need this treatment?

    The cells that need this function will change each month, and I don't want to my entire workbook to change into values because I still need formulas for other functions.

    Sub Maybe

    Or you can use Union for non adjacent cells

    Change cell references as required.

    The previous "With_Union" suggestion does not work.
    Change the Ranges as required.
