Changing the result of a formula to a real number.
 

Years ago, probably with Lotus123, I was able to convert a range of cells
that contained a simple formula to its resulting real number. ie. c3 is the
formula c1+c2 and displays the number 8 when c1=5 and c2=3. I am hoping
there is a way without reentering the number 8 to change c3 to 8. Thanks.
