Default Converting Formula Results to Actual Data Values

Is there a way to convert the result of a formula into an actual data value
instead of the cell containing the formula itself when copied?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You.

Try this:

Select the formula cells

From the Excel main menu: <edit<copy

Select the destination cells

<edit<paste special.....Check: Values......Click [OK]

Does that help?
