MS-Excel / General Formatting

Using Copy Here As Values Only

You also can copy formula results and still leave the original formulas in place by using a pop-up menu that many users don't even know exists.

Select the formula range and right-click the right or left border of the selection (in other words, anywhere on the selection border except for the fill handle). While holding down the right mouse button (or Ctrl-clicking on a Macintosh), drag to the destination, release the right mouse button, and click Copy Here as Values Only from the resulting pop-up shortcut menu.

You can also override the original formulas with their results. Select the formula range, then right-click the right or left border of the selection (again, anywhere in the selection except for the fill handle). While pressing the right mouse button (or Ctrl-clicking), drag over one column to the right or left and then back to the starting range, release the right mouse button, and click Copy Here as Values Only from the resulting pop-up shortcut.
