I think you were right at the very beginning: this is not how
spreadsheets work.

Well, yes and no. The function has existed in most historic spreadsheets, going all the way back to VisiCalc. But I notice that I cannot find it in Numbers '08 (from Apple's iWork suite) at all, and OOo's way of doing it is a little on the arcane side.

I concur with the latter.  QuattroPro 10 has this under
Edit/Convert to values and it's a very handy thing to have. But QuattroPro has problems I'll not go into in this forum.
