MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / March 2008Create static text from cell reference
Hey everyone... I have two columns of text which I'm combining in a third column using the formula (for C1, for example) =A1 & char(10) & B1 This gives me the contents of A1 on a line above the contents of B1 and works fine. What I NEED to do is somehow create column C as TEXT, not as a REFERENCED data from columns A and B. How do I create a cell that contains the actual TEXT content of another cell instead of a REFERENCE to the other cell? TIA... Select all the cells in "C" that have content. R-click them and select "Copy" then r-click again, select Paste Special, Values, then OK. > Hey everyone... > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > TIA... Select C1 (or a group of cells in this column if you have more) and click <copy>. Then click on Edit | Paste Special | Values (check) | OK then <Esc>, You will now have the text in cell C1 rather than the formula. Hope this helps. Pete > Hey everyone... > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > TIA...
