Hi Choo,
The paste special dialogue can be found under the Edit Menu, or alternatively press Control+Shift+V, and allows you to copy across values only, not the formulas.
‘This column’ refers to the column where you paste the values (using the paste special function mentioned above).
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Michael.

Comment on Combining data in cells by Bob

I’ve gotten the concatenated string, which consists of a series of email addresses separated by a comma. Now I want to use the actual created string in an email address, but I can’t figure out how to convert the concatenated string of address into the actual resulting string of text.

Any suggestions?

Hi Michael,
I am trying to sort my data randomly. May i know what do you mean by paste special dialogue box? And which column you mean in “sorted in this column”?
Thanks very much and i really appreciate your kindness…

Comment on Data Validation: Drop down lists by Zach

Thanks for this article, one thing I would like to do is be able to assign a value to text items in the drop down list?

eg.

list1 = 10
list2 = 11
list3 = 12

so that when “list1″ is selected, the value calculated when that cell is used in a function would be 10.

Did that make sense?

thanks again.
