How to turn a string formula into a “real” formula

Question

I have 0,4*A1 in a cell (as a string). How can convert this \"string formula\" into a real formula and calculate its value, in another cell?

Answer 1

Say, let we have column E filled by formulas that returns string, like:

= " = " & D7

where D7 cell consist more complicated formula, that composes final desired result, say:

= 3.02 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024

And so in all huge qty of rows that are.

When rows are a little - it just enough to copy desired cells as values (by RMB)
to nearest column, say G, and press F2 with following Enter in each of rows.
However, in case of huge qty of rows it's impossible ...

So, No VBA. No extra formulas. No F&R

No mistakes, no typo, but stupid mechanical actions instead only,

Like on a Ford conveyor. And in just a few seconds only:

1. [Assume, all of involved columns are in "General" format.]
2. Open Notepad++
3. Select entire column D
4. Ctrl+C
5. Ctrl+V in NPP
6. Ctrl+A in NPP
7. Select cell in the first row of desired column G1
8. Ctrl+V
9. Enjoy :) .
