Excel 2007

One thing that I do frequently in Excel is convert a range to formulas to
values. The thought hit me today that it would be handy if there was a
Convert to Values option on the context menu so that a person would just
need to highlight the range, right-click, and select the Convert to Values
option. All Excel would need to do is run an automatic copy and paste
special.

Are there any add-ons out there that make this possible? If not, it there a
way for me to add this functionality myself via a custom function or
something?

Thanks for any help that you can offer.

Thanks for the reply.

So I can setup a macro with a hot key combination, and that should suffice,
but I'm still curious as to whether or not there is any way to add a custom
command to a context menu in Excel. Is there any way to do that?

Hi,

How about adding the Paste Values tool to your toolbar, there is one under
View, Toolbars, Customize, Commands tab, Edit Category.

Actually there is also a Paste Special button available and if you are using
2007 there is a Paste Special shortcut key - Ctrl+Alt+V

If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Cheers,

Hi Thomas

You you can add a Paste Values button to the Cell menu if you want.
You must do this wil code one time.

Below you find a macro to add it and to delete it

Sub Add_Paste_Special_Button()
' This will add the Paste Special button to the cell menu
Application.CommandBars("cell").Controls. _
Add Type:=msoControlButton, ID:=370, befo=1
End Sub

Sub Delete_Paste_Special_Button()
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("cell").FindControl(ID:=37 0).Delete
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
