Default Formula for value of a cell when the cell answer has comma's in it

I have the following formula in a cell:

=M26&","&M37&","&M50&","&M75&","&M86&","&M97&","&M 108&","&M137&","&M148&","&M159

which it generates an answer such as: 15,56,42,30,460,8,900,750,631,521

i need to change this to its value... so that the cell will the above answer
in it and not the formula. I didn't know if this was possible with a format
or formula instead of coping and paste special then values.

Any ideas? Thanks

Formulas can't convert formulas to values.

You'll have to convert the formula to a value a different way--like copy|paste
special values.
