Pasting "as displayed" formatted cell contents
I have formatted cells as follows "CN"00000000"S10" so that when I type in a
serial number such as 12345678 it appears in the cell as CN12345678S10. How can I copy the contents as it appears in the the formatted cell and paste the "as displayed value" into another cell without formatting the destination cell? In effect pasting the value CN12345678S10 into another cell. |

Pasting "as displayed" formatted cell contents
There is no silver bullet on that one. What is actually stored is 12345678 so
that is what is copied. The CN and S10 are just formatting. Short of copying the cell formatting where the extra characters are stored you are hooped... -- HTH...

Pasting "as displayed" formatted cell contents
Mike's suggestion worked fine for me.
It didn't change the underlying value, but by paste special|all, both the value and the numberformat were pasted. So the text displayed the same thing.

Pasting "as displayed" formatted cell contents
I clicked on a formatted cell chose a blank cell and pasted "all". it pasted
only the numerica and not the formatting. "Dave Peterson" wrote: Mike's suggestion worked fine for me.

Pasting "as displayed" formatted cell contents
I could do a plain old copy|paste and all the formatting--including the number
formatting--got carried over. I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you. jimqual7 wrote: I clicked on a formatted cell chose a blank cell and pasted "all". it pasted only the numerica and not the formatting.
