- In short
- Replaces the formulas in your selection with the results they currently show, so the cells hold plain values instead of formulas. This is a quick, safe way to freeze calculated results. Select the cells first. The change happens in place, you confirm before it runs, and you can undo it. In-place value freeze. The source table is left as it is; Undo Last brings it back if needed.
What it is for
Formulas to Values is used to convert formulas to their computed values in place.
When to use it

Good to know
Confirmation for large operations. Merged cells rejected.
Limitations
Merged cells rejected.
