Default number grab

It sound as if you want to use Copy then Paste Special Values

Hi

I've been a bit stupid. I have about 6 columns of price data where column
R
is a net selling price. I've entered these column R numbers as fixed
numbers.

This is my mistake because I've added a formula to the P column which
knocks
a percentage off the R column number to give me my purchase price.

What I should have done was to have the fixed numbers in the purchase
price
column P for the selling price column R to derive values using a formula.
The other way round in other words.

I really don't want to have to work through 650 lines making a note of all
the formula determined values in Column P so that I can re-enter them as
fixed values and apply a formula to column R.

Is there a way of 'grabbing' the numbers in column P, that currently
result
from a formula, converting them to fixed numbers that are not based on a
formula?

Thanks
David
