    Hi All

    I do not see why that would be impossible.

    Use a Sheet Specific Selection Change macro

    use the macro to copy the formula in the cell into a string.

    copy paste the value into the cell.

    When another cell is selected or the sheet is changed or the workbook is closed

    then enter the formula back into the cell.

    That is the theory, I assume the practice will be harder.
