Question

I have a cell that has a formula, it shows a word, I want to be able to edit that cell if I want. The problem is if I attempt, it shows the formula, I want to create a button next to it that will allow the formula to be replaced by the word it is showing. I thought this script would do it, but obviously not.

Can someone show me where I went wrong?

Sub Edit_Nonconformity()

    ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2").Cells(2, 40).Value = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2").Cells(2, 40).Value
End Sub

I thought if I copied the “Value” of the cell and pasted it back on there, it would overwrite the script, at least that is how I thought it would work.

Basically the formula is pulling from another sheet, so it uses a standard formula, what I want to do is with a push of a button have it change the cell from formula showing said text to an editable text if you wish to edit the cell.

does this make sense to anyone?

Answer 1

Cells(2, 3) = Cells(2, 2) sets the result of the formula in C2 = the text in B2.
