Description Colin 2021-11-26 09:18:05 UTC
Description:
F1 help for MENU>Data>Calculate>Formula to Value is missing

Steps to Reproduce:
1.MENU>Data>Calculate>Formula to Value
2.F1
3.

Actual Results:
No help available

Expected Results:
Help available - particularly as it obliterates any formulae in "unselected" cells of the "Target" column when applied to an auto filter sorted "Marquee Selection" - that's Sorted NOT selected or deselected.
The cells I don't want recalculated are still visible at the bottom of the list.
Is that a separate bug report or a feature?
Impossible to tell as the help file is missing 


Reproducible: Always

I can confirm the cells which were originally located in rows ABOVE the marquee selection but would have been "Sorted" to the bottom of the list, retained their formulae.
Comment 2 Colin 2021-11-26 09:32:45 UTC
Further testing demonstrates that if the cells which had their formulae obliterated are then "selected" in the autofilter and the formula is re-pasted to all the cells presented therein, the formulae are correctly pasted only to the displayed cells.
