how to paste only values in excel

Question

I\'m quite new to Excel and completely new to this forum.

I have taken the code from the below forum and modified it to my need.

Answer 1

Use .Copy together with .PasteSpecial. Instead of:

SourceCells.Copy TargetSht.Cells(2, SourceCol)

Do this:

SourceCells.Copy
TargetSht.Cells(2, SourceCol).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues

Answer 2

Using the macro recorder yields this kind of thing. I use it a lot when stuck.

Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
    :=False, Transpose:=False

Answer 3

right click in the cell and select paste special then you can choose values only

edit: for macros its the same principle use .PasteSpecial xlPasteValues like here

Set rng6 = .Range("A3").End(xlDown).Offset(0, 41)
rng6.Copy
ActiveSheet.Paste Destination:=Worksheets("Positions").Range("W2")

Answer 4

You don't need to copy and paste to do this (at least in Excel 2010 and above, I think). You just set the .Value of the range to equal itself. eg:

rng.Value = rng.Value

or

Sheet1.Range("A1:A10").Value = Sheet1.Range("A1:A10").Value

since .Value "Returns or sets a Variant value that represents the value of the specified range."

Note that this just works for values, not formats.
