Copying Formula Text
 

Is it possible to copy and paste just the text of a formula from one
cell to another without going into the formula text window and using
Ctrl+c. Can this be done from multiple cells to multple cells.
thanks.

edit/copy
select new location
edit/paste special, select Values.

OR...
Right-click the BORDER of the selection and drag to the new location. When
you let go, you'll see a dialog in which you can select "Copy here as values
only."

Enjoy.

I assume when you say you want the formula text, you want to be able to copy
the formula and not just the result.

If you just select the cell, copy, select the target cell and paste, What
is it you do not like about the result?
The formulas may need to be modified for absolute and relative referencing
to get what you want.
