Saving spreadsheets without formulae

how to you save an entire workbook/spreadsheet without formulae? And with the formulae shown to external links but without the links to minimise problems with corruption.

RE: Saving spreadsheets without formulae

Hi Sarah
Thank you for your question:
In response;
You have two questions here and to my knowledge they will not operate simultaneously, lets just take the first one, save worksheet without formulae;
Select your entire worksheet; little button between A and 1 top left of worksheet will do this or keyboard command CTRL+A.
Keyboard CTRL+C to copy then to Menu command Edit, choose the Paste Special Option and choose Values from the dialog box. All your formulae will be changed to Values including all links to other worksheets/books.
To display your formula in a workbook choose the keyboard command CTRL+Pipe key (above Tab, Below Esc and to the left of 1) this is a toggle switch so it will switch on or off as required.
I hope that has helped, Pete

Excel tip:

Convert Text to Columns in Excel 2010

If you have a cell in your Excel spreadsheet that contains a lot of text and you want to divide it into separate columns, this can only be done if there is a logical character which separates the text, for example, a comma.

Select the cells you would like to convert. On the Data tab, click Text to Columns. Choose the format of your current data.

Select Delimited if the text contains a logical character otherwise select Fixed Width if there are a certain number of spaces between each field.

Click Next when a preview of the data appears. Then select the type of character that separates the various fields. If the character is not listed, select Other and enter the character.

Click Next again and then choose the format for each of the columns. Select the column heading in the Data preview and then select a data type from the Column data format options.

Click Finish and the text will appear in several columns.
