I currently have a list created with multiple column and column types. One column is a formula based on the answer of another....I need to change the column to a Yes or No choice instead of relying on the answer of the other column. However, whenever I go to edit that column, it will not let me change the type....help!

You are unable to change the types of Columns in SharePoint lists - simply because it's impossible to guarantee how to transform the data stored in one column type to another.
What you can do, is create your Yes/No column, go to DataSheet view, and see if you are able to copy/paste the values from your calculated column over to the new Yes/No column.

2Actually you can change column types, some of them are convertable. But not all, as in this case. Commented Jul 28, 2011 at 18:59
