Is there a way in Excel to change a calculated field to an actual number?  
For example changing =B2 (10)+C2 (12)  to actually be 32?  I want to use this
field in a seperate system, can it will not copy since it is a calcuated
field.  Thanks.

Yes, ... but I hope that the OP wanted 22, not 32.   :-)

If you are only doing one cell - I suggest hitting the F2 key then the F9
(not together) and then hit enter.....
