Easily replace formulas with calculated values/results in cells in Excel

Kutools for Excel

Boosts Excel With 300+
Powerful Features

Normally you can replace a formula with its calculated result easily in one cell by re-entering the result. And for a big range with many cells, you can select these cells firstly, and then use paste special function to replace formulas with calculated results. However, using Paste Special function will lose all formatting of selected range, such as color, bold, etc.

But Kutools for Excel's To Actual tool will save your time and replace all formulas with their calculated results in selections quickly.

For example, if a cell contains formula =A2*C19/C12, it will convert the formula to its calculated result and use it to fill the cell. If a cell with the value 03/21/2012 formatted as Wednesday, it will fill the cell with value Wednesday.

When I use Merge&Split ... Advanced Combine Rows, where the devil do I get the result? If I want the max values of some columns for multiple rows, I get no visible result and nothing in the clipboard. How is this intended to work?!

When I click the "To Actual" button, it not only converts the formulas to values (good), it also changes the cell format to Text, which is profoundly stupid and counterproductive.

Using Paste Special to paste formulas as values does not loose any formatting in any version of Excel I've ever used.
