Default Clear formulae

This does not happen on copy and paste values

thanks for raising this ... worth being aware of. The alternative

approach
of copy / paste special values would also have the same effect. I guess

it
can be avoided by cycling through the cells with formulae but I expect

this
would be a little slower than the original suggestion.

Sub FormulaeToValues3()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormu las,

23)
cell.Value = cell.Value
Next
End Sub

I don't think you can apply formatting to cells with a formula in them so
this should be safe.

Regards

Trevor

one way:

Sub FormulaeToValues2()
With ActiveSheet
.UsedRange.Value = .UsedRange.Value
End With
End Sub

Is there a simple way to clear formulae from the activesheet,

leaving
just the values in the cells ..... or do I have to do this cell by

cell
eg:
setValue = ActiveCell.Value
ActiveCell = setValue

Regards.
