retain result
 

Hi, Is it possible to retain results from a formula even if the cell
your calculating changes. For example, in A1 I have a 2, then in a20 I
have '=A1'. A1 now changes to 2 but I want A1 to retain original
value. I suspect the answers no, and Im using vba to do what I want.
The reason I though Id ask is My values in A1 change every 2 mins,
going from 1 to 4. Basically when its 1 a certain value is enetered in
a19, a20 = new value when 2, a21 = 3, a22 = 4. Calculation done on
these 4 values, then resets and starts again. As I said can do this in
vba just though if its possible to do without vba.
Regards Robert

You need VBA really.
