Press F9 (the default short-cut for recalculate) followed by ENTER. This should replace the formula with the result. This will work for a single cell, but will take you very long for a whole column. Good point. Using Paste Special method would work better in that case. As a side note, I think the Paste Special method is more intuitive (in general); I just wanted to mention an alternative. Regards Stephan Doing the following sure makes me miss Lotus 1-2-3. I wanted to change a simple addition formula that summed the quantities in two cells into their summed value. I right-clicked the cell and hit Ctrl C. Then again I right clicked the (same) cell and rolled down to Paste special and left-clicked it. The formula was changed into its value. In the 1-2-3 days one picked the cell or cells, hit the slash key and then the keys r and v in that sequence and one had the values instead of the formulas. Trackballing and mousing are slower than the second coming. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Calc: Converting Formula to Value
Hi :) Ooops. Yep i made a few mistakes there. Using x as multiplication confuses some people and * confuses others so i went back to make it a simple addition but really was not concentrating at all lol. Hopefully it gets the point across tho. Many apols for the blunders and regards from Tom :) --- On Sat, 29/10/11, Brian Barker b.m.bar...@btinternet.com wrote: From: Brian Barker b.m.bar...@btinternet.com Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Calc: Converting Formula to Value To: users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Saturday, 29 October, 2011, 16:38 At 15:43 29/10/2011 +0100, Tom Davies wrote: A1= 10 B1= 20 and C1= A1+B1 then the spreadsheet would display C1= 200 ...

Hi :) It depends what Rich means by change. There are other possibilities too, such as perhaps the cell has been defined as text, perhaps '= blah blah in which case removing the ' might do the trick. I think that between us we have answered the most likely reasons that would give Rich formulas rather than values.

That is, when the cursor is on a cell the entry widget along the top should display the value, not the formula.

No, when the formula was defined the cell contents were both numeric so the formula value is also numeric. I think that between us we have answered the most likely reasons that would give Rich formulas rather than values. Actually, not. I need to know how to convert the formula to its value.
