I'd like to copy the numeric result of a formula in an Excel cell, but not
the formula. Is there an addressing mode or technique that does this?

Hi

It's either a pasting technique, instead of Ctrl V go menu Edit (or
rightclick) Paste special and choose Values.

Or format the formula cell with menu Format (or rightclick) Cells, pane
Protection, check Hidden in addition to Locked. Now protect your sheet with
Tools Protection Protect worksheet. Now a cell copy will contein its
value, not its invisible formula.

HTH. Best wishes Harald

You copy the cell to itself, and then stipulate to paste only the *values*.

Right click in the cell and choose "Copy".
Right click again and choose "PasteSpecial".
Click on "Values", then <OK, then <Esc.
