converting results from formula to text in a new column
There is a little trick:
Say A1 has =1+1 first format B1 as Text second select A1 and do a copy third select B1 and paste/special as value B1 will contain 2 as a piece of text. -- Gary's Student "nodotdak" wrote: I have a column that I have a formula in.

EditPaste SpecialValues will give you the result of the formula in the
cell you copied rather than the pasting the formula itself. Alternatively you can rt-click to paste & choose Paste Special from the contextual menu or simply Paste, then use the Paste Options button to select Values Only. If you want the pasted content to actually be treated as text you will still have to reformat the cell using FormatCells - Text.
