[Solved] Convert cell addresses from text to its values

Post by gazzlowe »

I have a text containing multiple cell addresses ( formula function several times substituted to get appropriate math syntax ) and I need each cell address to be replaced with its value without need to manually put every text into quotes and place amps between each text block / cell address.

Sorry for bad english, it's not my native language and my skills are quite bad, since I barely happen to express something in it.
