Default convert formula to its value w/out copy and paste

I'm trying to prepare a spreadsheet for a client that will compute into which
group a person should be assigned. Even if the assignment is made in error
(data upon which computation is made is in error), once a person has been
assigned, they must stay assigned, even if the data is later corrected. A
logical way to do that would be to replace the assignment formula with its
result, but I can't find any way to do that without copy and paste, which is
no good for an automatic, user-proof product. Any reasonably simple solution
would be fine, doesn't have to convert a formula. I have already thought of
having the user copy whatever he sees in one column to the next one, but is
there a way to do this without human intervention? Any way to have a formula
one-use-only? Thanks for any ideas!
