Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Calc: Converting Formula to Value

Hi :)
Ooops.  Yep i made a few mistakes there.  Using x as multiplication confuses 
some people and * confuses others so i went back to make it a simple addition 
but really was not concentrating at all lol.  Hopefully it gets the point 
across tho.  
Many apols for the blunders and regards from
Tom :)

 A1= 10
 B1= 20
 and
 C1= A1+B1
 then the spreadsheet would display C1= 200 ...
 
 Is this perhaps what's known as the new math?

It depends what Rich means by change.


  Show the value in each cell, not the display of the formula. That is, when
the cursor is on a cell the entry widget along the top should display the
value, not the formula.


There are other possibilities too, such as perhaps the cell has been
defined as text, perhaps '= blah blah in which case removing the ' might
do the trick.


  No, when the formula was defined the cell contents were both numeric so
the formula value is also numeric.


I think that between us we have answered the most likely reasons that
would give Rich formulas rather than values.


  Actually, not. I need to know how to convert the formula to its value.

Thanks,

Rich
