I have two excel files.
one is called MAster and the other Rider.

In RIder I will be doing lookup on the MAster file.
Once the rider page is complete (with all the lookups) I would like t
be able to simply keep the values generated from the lookups withou
the formulas.

the reason is that I would send the Rider file to an indivdual but
don't want to send the Master file.

I generate all my lookups using a Macro. Is it possible to dump to m
rider file only the values?????

I would then have to run my macro everytime I modify my Master file..

or can I have my Rider file with the lookup fomulas and run a macr
form there to generate another file with only the values???

thanks for any help

I would copy the page then past using paste special
values only.

range(what you want to copy).copy
range(where you want to paste).PasteSpecial _
Paste:=xlPasteValues

Hope that helps

.

If you generate your lookups with a macro why not have the macro convert to
values then?

c.formula =c.value

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=INDEX([Master.xls]defenition!R6C1:R80C5,
MATCH([Master.xls]Master!R[" & -1 * (10 + (counter * 5)) &
"]C[28],[Master.xls]defenition!R6C1:R80C1,),

Try adding this line where shown to change the formula you just created to a
value.
MATCH(R12C4,[Master.xls]defenition!R6C1:R6C5,))"
activecell.formula=activecell.value
Next counter
