I have an application that copies the used range on a worksheet and then
pastes values, to remove formula.

I need to deselect a smaller range within the used range before I paste
values, so for the smaller range the formula are retained.

The following replaces all formula, but if I wanted to exclude a smaller
range say ("I44:N55") how could I do this?

With Sheets(1).UsedRange
.Cells.Copy
.Cells.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End With
