Default how to replace cell references with actual numbers

You could display what you ask for by the formula
="=sum("&Sheet1!B4&"+"&Sheet1!B5&")"
but of course it won't evaluate it. If you want to evaluate it you can use
the real formula in another cell [or you can use the EVALUATE() function in
a named reference].

Note also that you don't need the word SUM in your formula. The formula
could have been =(Sheet1!B5+Sheet1B4) or =(14+15).

i need to find a shortcut, maybe a marco to replace the formula the
refers to cell references on another worksheet to dispay actual
numbers.

For example, I have =sum(Sheet1!B5+Sheet1B4) in sheet2, and i need to
have =sum(14+15), where B5=14 and B4=15 in sheet2.

please help, i have a really, really long list to work with and
wouldn't want to do this by hand....
