Paste Special II - Removing formulae

The paste special feature is useful for preserving the values in a spreadsheet - but removing the formulae that generated those values. This may be required to preserve proprietary equations.

To remove the formulae for a range of cells, select and copy the desired range. Do not unselect the range. Now click on Edit - Paste Special - see below.

Make sure the Formulas box is unchecked. After you click OK, the formula is removed but the value is preserved.
