Error Using Returned Values as Input with Fourier Analysis (114182)

WORKAROUND

To avoid receiving this error message, do either of the following before using the Fourier Analysis tool using an input data range that has been returned by the Fourier Analysis tool:

• Use the Paste Special dialog box to convert the values to numbers instead of text by doing the following:
  
  
  1. In a blank cell, type 1.
  2. Select the cell containing the 1, and choose Copy from the Edit menu.
  3. Select the range that contains the values that have been returned by the Fourier Analysis tool.
  4. From the Edit menu, choose Paste Special.
  5. In the Paste Special dialog box, under Paste, select Values, and under Operation, choose Multiply. Choose OK.
  -or-
  
  
• Use the following macro to enter each of the numbers in the selection as a number value instead of a text value:

        Sub Enter_Value()
        Dim xCell As Object
           For Each xCell In Selection
               xCell.Value = xCell.Value
           Next xCell
        End Sub
