MS Excel Help
« on: June 25, 2007, 09:47:59 AM »
I have created a spreadsheed entering my costs (in column B) for a particular project
I created a second column that has a formula adding to and totalling up my cost + markup % = sell (column C).

I need to send this to the client.

Is there a way, other then re-typesetting all the numbers in column C, to make column C appear as entered numbers, not showing my formula (which has my cost and markup in it)?

Thanks.

Does he need it in excel format?  If not, it might be easier to do a simple cut and past of that column into Word.

If it has to be excel I'd do a cut and paste special (contents only) into a seperate sheet.

You may have to use the Paste Special function in Word, too, or it will paste in the formula and not the result.

Edit - Past Special

Actually, I was able to cut from Excel, and Paste (regular paste), and it showed the number only, not the formula?

Not sure why, but it worked.

Thanks!

You'd better be sure that your formula isn't in the background if you're actually trying to keep the recipient from seeing how you arrived at the numbers.
