Rob -

While my earlier post contained code for selecting each cell in the
group,
VBA code works much faster if you do not select cells. And the fact is
that
rarely do you need to select a cell to accomplish your goal.

In this case, you may simply need to create your formula in VBA, using
R1C1
references, assign the formula to the range of cells, then convert each
cell
to a value like so, which doesn't select ANY cells and work very, very
fast

With range("FormulaRange")
.FormulaR1C1 = "=rc[-1]"
For Each cc In range("FormulaRange")
cc.Formula = cc.Value
Next
End With

I'm trying to select a series of ranges to
1. paste a named formula I've created and then
2. remove the formula & leave the value

What I have so far is shown below, but I'm sure there must be a
better
way.
The problem seems to be that I can't use the copy function in a
multiple
range. I guess I can't paste xlValues to multiple ranges either, so
I'm
being forced to handle each range, one at a time, which seems rather
cumbersome.

Sub Macro1()

Range("G8:R45,G50:R59,G63:R110,G114:R121,G114:R122 ,G126:R134").Select
Selection = "=ITNBudgetFormula"
Range("G8:R45").Select
Range("G8:R45").Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
Range("G50:R59").Select
Range("G50:R59").Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
'etc for the rest of the range
End Sub
