Default save .xls w/o the formulas just the numbers


Jim,

What you are after is a copy of the values rather than the formulae
that sit behind the calculations.
To do this is easy - Open the file and select all by clicking on any
cell on the page and hitting ctrl-A, then copy the whole page with
Ctrl-C and open up a new workbook (you can do this first if you like),
next you are going to "paste special" into this new book. Click onto
EDIT and select PASTE SPECIAL, there are several options here, but the
one you are probably after is 1) FORMAT and 2) Values. The first option
will recreate the file in the same format as the original (colours,
boxes that sort of thing) the second option populates this sheet with
the values without importing the formulae.

Cheers
Jon
