Change formulas to values
Manual
To convert all cells on a worksheet to values we must select all cells first.
Excel 97-2002:
Use the shortcut Ctrl-a to select all cells.
Excel 2003:
If the worksheet contains data, CTRL+A selects the current region.
Pressing CTRL+A a second time selects the entire worksheet.
Excel 2007:
If the worksheet contains data, CTRL+A selects the current region.
Pressing CTRL+A a second time selects the current region and its summary rows.
Pressing CTRL+A a third time selects the entire worksheet.
This is working in all Excel versions:
Click on the space above the first row header and on the left of the first column header.

Note: you can also select a range instead of the whole sheet
Excel 97-2003:
Edit>Copy
Edit>Paste Special
Check "Values"
OK
Use Esc to clear the clipboard
Press Ctrl Home to go to A1
Excel 2007:
Home tab>Clipboard group>Copy
Home tab>Clipboard group>Arrow on Paste button
Choose "Paste Values" in the menu

Use Esc to clear the clipboard
Press Ctrl Home to go to A1

Press Ctrl Home to go to A1
Macro examples
The first macro of each example use PasteSpecial xlPasteValues and the second the value property
(both do the same). You must remove the worksheet protection before you can use the macro's
Warning: Value property problem
If there are constants in the .UsedRange that have character by character formatting,
the .Value = .Value will change the formatting to match the first character in that cell.
Change all the cells in all worksheets to values
You can remove the sh.Select line and .Cells(1).Select line if you want.
I add it because I not like the selection of the usedrange in every sheet after you use PasteSpecial
Change all the cells in the ActiveSheet to values
Change all the cells in the CurrentRegion to values
Use the the Shortcut Ctrl * with the A1 selected to see the CurrentRegion.
It is a range with data bounded by a empty row/column.
Change all the cells in a range to values
Change all the cells in a range with one or more areas to values
