Hello, everyone!  While I absolutely LOVE OOo...

In Lotus 123, there's a way to convert a cell's contents from a formula to the value that results. For example, I may have a cell with a date, and the next cell with n+7, or a week later. In 123, once I get that formula copied out as far as I need it, I can do a conversion from the formula within those cells to the values that are actually displayed.

(In 123, it's backslash [command mode] R[ange] V[alue] - with copy from and copy to cell address inputs at that point. /rva1.b9<cr> c10<cr>)

Now - how do I do that in Calc? Help comes up empty, as does a search of the FAQs, etc.

Copy the cell or cells and then paste the contents back into the same cell or cells. But instead of using ordinary Paste, use Edit | Paste Special... (or right-click | Paste Special... or Ctrl+Shift+V). In the Paste Special dialogue box, remove the tick from "Paste all" if necessary, and then ensure that Numbers (or whatever is appropriate) is ticked but Formulas is *not* ticked.

I trust this helps.
