Should be easy - Value and Formula
 
I am having a brain dump. I know this should be easy but I can't remember. I
have a Cell (let's say A1) in it has a formula that pulls information from
another cell and multiplies it by a third cell then etc. etc. etc.) What I
want to do it make cell B1 have just the value of the formula from A1.
Whatever the value woudl be then in B1 it would have just that, no formula
string.

Can anyone remind me? I thought it was =VALUE(A1) but not positive.

You'll always have a formula in B1, given your scenario. Just enter =A1.

Another option:

=if(a1="","",a1)

If A1 is empty, this will make B1 look empty.
