How to convert function return value to text?
For example I have a column of functions C, like
=A1-B1 =A2-B2 And so on. In C column I see results of calculation. But that's still a function and if I change A and B the C will change. How can I transform results of calculation to simple text? And see only resulting numbers in C column? |

How to convert function return value to text?
You don't necessarily want them as text, but you want to fix the
values, so here's how to do it: Highlight the cells in column C which have the formulae in. Then click <copy and click on Edit | Paste Special | Values (check) | OK followed by <Esc. The values in C (which are still numbers) will not change now when you change A1 or B1 etc. Hope this helps.
