How to change a sum to an actual number I can paste into a new do.
I used the sum function in excel but now I need to take the total and make
the sumed numbers into actual typed numbers that I can then paste into another document. Right now I can't cut and paste them without taking the sum functions with me so the number change when I bring them into the new file. Help! |

If the other document is another Excel worksheet, you probably want to do copy-and-paste-special-value. Copy as you normally do, but then right click the original cell or click Edit, then click Paste Special, Values, OK. One caveat: this will copy the actual value, which might be different from the displayed value. If that is what you want, fine. But since you said "actual typed number", I suspect you want the displayed value. Generally, I believe the only way to do that is to ensure that the displayed value is the same as the actual value by using the ROUND function in the original cell. Exception: There should be no problem if all the numbers (i.e. the summed numbers, the numbers they might depend on, and the total) are integers with a magnitude not more about 9E+15, and you only did addition, subtraction and multiplication. But beware that I am talking about actual values, not displayed values. ----- original message ----- "animal" wrote in message ...

Here are a couple of other alternatives:
A] 1. Highlight the formula on the Formula Bar and press F9, 2. Press Ctrl+C, then Esc 3. Move to the target sheet and Paste B] Suppose that the sum is in A10 and A11 is empty 1. Put your cursor in A11 and press Ctrl+" (control double quotes) 2. Cut and Paste the results to the target sheet -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.
