In my professional life, I'm limited to use Microsoft Office. In Excel there is an option ows to render the result of a formula to be pasted as a "fixed value".
For instance
A1 = "I"
,B1 = "ride"
,C1 = "a"
andD1 = "bike"
In E1, I can place a formula to concatenate the values of A1 through D1 to display the sentence "I ride a bike", but if I should copy and paste that cell, I would just get the formula again, both if I write the formula with relative positioning, and if the values in A1:D1 change.
To solve this problem, Excel has "Paste Special > Value", which copies the current value of the cell to the target cell.At home, I use LibreOffce.
Although I have tried to find a feature identical to "Paste Special > Value" in both LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org, I couldn't find it.
Does anyone know how to do this?-

Admin almost 10 yearsSo why can't you leave it on #'s instead of UNTICKING everything and ticking numbers? Isn't that what we want to do?

Rob Rijsdam over 12 yearsGood afternoon, Mehper, I have tried that one before, but it didn't work. Following your advice, I tried again and now it worked like a charm... So in all humbleness, it leaves me nothing but the conclusion that earlier I must have done something wrong:-) Thank you very much for your assistance and have a nice day ! Best regards, Rob

neverfox almost 10 yearsStill a lot of extra steps compared to Excel. Did M$ patent this feature or something?

EoghanM about 7 yearsThe fact that the state of 'Paste all' enables all the checkboxes below it is completely non obvious (I thought they were disabled for some reason related to the data that I'd copied).
