I have a spreadheet that has a column, titled "Running Totals". This
column moves each month after the first of the month. When I move that
column, I want to automatically convert any formulas to the left of the
column into their numeric value. How? TIA

this may do it all for you since it copies the last column to the next
column and then converts the formulas in the previous last column to values

Sub valuelastcoltonest()
lc = Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
Columns(lc).Copy Columns(lc + 1)
Columns(lc).Value = Columns(lc).Value
End Sub

Use "Paste Special" and select "Values". To convert this to VBA, record
it in the Macro Recorder and copy and paste the code produced.

try something like this

Sub example()

Dim first As Integer

Worksheets("Sheet3").Activate

Range("A1").Select

first = 1

Do While ActiveCell.Offset(0, first).Value < "Running Totals"
first = first + 1
Loop

Columns(first).Select

Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False

Application.CutCopyMode = False

Range("A1").Select

End Sub

you would have to run this every month. this assumes that the sheet is
called "sheet3" so you would have to change that appropriately. It also
assumes the heading is in row 1 so if it is not, you have to change the 0 in
Do While ActiveCell.Offset(0, first).Value < "Running Totals" to 1 or 2 or
whatever depending on which row in is in.

hope that helps

Don, the running total column is not the last column. I need something
to find the running total column, count the columns to the left of it,
however omit column "A", and convert any formlas into values. TIA

Sean, if I wanted to skip Column "A", would I select B1. Your other
assumptions are correct, except it is always the first sheet in the
workbook.

Yes and also change Columns(first).Select to Columns(first + 1).Select.

note also that is only changes the immediate left column. I read in one of
your replies that you wanted to count columns to the left. Does that mean you
want to change all columns to the left except column A?

try

mc = Rows(1).Find("Running Total").Column - 1
MsgBox mc
Range(Cells(1, 2), Cells(1, mc)).EntireColumn.Value = _
Range(Cells(1, 2), Cells(1, mc)).EntireColumn.Value
