How can I convert a formula to it's results?

[ZBC2]

Cell A1 of the Input Sheet, for example might contain the words "Daily
Sale Report 5"
Cell A5 of the Output Sheet contains the formula: ='Input Sheet'!$A$1
thus displaying whatever the contents of cell A1 from the Input Sheet.
I want another cell on the Output Sheet to contain the editable results
of the formula ... e.g. "Daily Sale Report 5" ... (NOT the equation).
Is there a way to do this?

Hello ZBC2,

For example using cell A6 for the result, the formula would be...

=TEXT(A5, Len(A5))

I just realized that it still shows up as an equation in cell A6 ...
I guess I want to permanently replace A6 with it's contents ??? and not
show up as an equation ???

Hello ZBC2,

Change the formula in A6 (Output Sheet) to this...

=TEXT(Sheet1!$A$1, Len(Sheet1!$A$1))

If this doesn't work for you, then I have no idea what the problem is.

The first expression you gave me displays the cell contents ok; the
problem is that it is still a 'formula'.
I want to convert the formula to the 'results' of the formula.

I was hoping to not do it manually ...

You can do it via code, but thats it. There is no function/formula that
will convert itself to text automatically.
