Problem description: 
Copy and paste special (only number) of MID function does not show value (number) in target cell, target cell is empty.

Copy and paste special (only number) of sum of cells shows only result (value, number)

Other functions are not tested.

For paste special number following methods deliver the same result:
ctrl+shift+v and selecting only "number" and past
right click and select paste special and selecting only "number" and past
right click and select paste only number

See screenshot and test file in attachement


Expected behavior:
Paste special only number results in the value of the copied formula.

MID function returns a *string*, it is normal that paste number doesn't paste the string.
