Thanks Rick, not sure if you got my last feedback, so I resend it.
The net is that now the Sub gets compiled correctly and no syntax error.
Hence I saved the Macro and assigned it to a shortcut key (Ctrl+R) and went
to test it on my worksheet...1) went thru to a cell with a formula inside; 2)
press Ctrl+R; 3) instead of seeing the cell formula replaced by its content,
the cell got emptied.... I assume something wrong on my side..... THANKS a lot

Your newsreader (mine too) broke the long line in an odd place. I have
restructured Jarek's code so that won't happen. Copy/paste this version into
your code window (or use the subroutine I posted) instead...

Sub transl()
For Each cell In Selection
cell.Copy
cell.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Next cell
End Sub

Thanks, try to copy & past routine below into VB, but got an error msg
(sytnatx error) in correspondace to:
SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False

Pls note that I've NO experience at all in VB macros, so -- myabe -- I'll
have to replace something in the VB routine you provide me with.
Thanks again for any hints

no function can do that
functions cann only change cells' values
you would need a macro to do that

Sub transl()
For Each cell in Selection
cell.Copy
cell.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Next cell
End Sub
