Select only the result of an equation
 
How do I select (or copy) only the result of an equation - not the equation
itself?

Example:

=2+4
This cell will show 6 not the equation. I want to copy the "6" not the
"=2+4".

Thanks

Select only the result of an equation
 
Copy as usual, go to the destination cell, which may be the same one too,
right click, select Paste Special, tick the Values option, and OK out

Select only the result of an equation
 
Use "Paste special", "Value"

I beleive you want to copy the cell (CTRL + C) and then Paste Special and
select Values the OK.

Hope thats what your after.
