Formulas
I'm thinking the chances of this are slim to none, but here goes...
I have 4 columns in an excel spreadsheet. The first 3 contain values. The last column I have written a concatenation formula to combine the first 3 columns. Is there a way to lock in the actual data that is in column 4 so that I can delete columns 1-3 when its complete and not get the REF# error. I understand that the formula is reading columns 1-3 in order to know what to do, but I want to somehow convert the cell from the formula to the actual concatenated value...so that the reference cells can be deleted. Does anyone know if this is possible? |
