Description MartinP 2022-08-19 15:14:25 UTC
Description:
Paste special should have a more direct route. Where you have a sheet with a mix of calculated numeric and text values then there should be an option to paste the value, removing the formula. Currently you either need to paste special / paste special / Values Only or paste special / text for the text column(s) then paste special / Numbers for the numeric column(s). Not great UX. How about paste special / Values (like the *other* spreadsheet).

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create some calculated numeric cells
2.create some text based expressions / formulas
3.Copy and paste the actual resultant values.

Actual Results:
Possible but with too many steps

Expected Results:
Paste / Special / Values Only


Reproducible: Always
