Default Revealing formulas

Hi Chip,
Thanks very very much,

Keith,

You can use a VBA function like the following:

Function GetFormula(Rng As Range) As String
GetFormula = Rng(1, 1).Formula
End Function

You can then call this function from a worksheet cell.

E.g.,
=GetFormula(A1)

Hello,
In Excel, if the user presses ctrl+` (the backwards
apostrophe) the sheet display values become the

forumlas.
This is helpful for auditing. I need to show those

actual
values in another part of the sheet -- for auditing
purposes. is there a function, or a way that I can
capture the text of a formula so I can display it

elswhere?

thanks

keith
