In this article, we will learn how to change the formula in the cells in a range to values using VBA in Microsoft Excel.
Raw data for this example consists of sales data. Sales data contains information regarding number of items sold by employees in different cities. Last row and column contains the sum formula for finding the total number of items sold in a particular city by a particular employee.
We would like to convert all the formulas in the active sheet to values. To convert all the formulas to values, we have created a macro “ChangingFormulasToValue”. This macro can be run by clicking the “Convert formulas to values” button.
In the snapshot, one can see formula in H18 cell is converted to value.
Code explanation
Set SourceRng = Range("A1", Range("A1").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell))
Above code is used to assign all cells starting from cell A1 to the last cell in the workbook as range.
SourceRng.Value = SourceRng.Value
Above code is used to assign the cell value skipping the formula
Please follow below for the code
Option Explicit
Sub ChangingFormulasToValue()
'Declaring variables
Dim SourceRng As Range
'Specify all cells in the active sheet as range
Set SourceRng = Range("A1", Range("A1").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell))
'Assigning only value of the cell skipping formula of the cell
SourceRng.Value = SourceRng.Value
End Sub

Great One question If I want the formula in a cell in a work sheet to change to value only it a cell value in another worksheet changes
What are the changes required. eg in cell b5 in a sheet contains value 24, this value is divided into 12 monthly instalments. in another worksheet in say cell c5using b5/12 .after 12 months if b5 is changed then the formula in c5 should be changed to values without a formula and the new value is calculated in d5 what changes are required
