Thumbs up Answer: Link shows formula instead of content of cell

Hi Gladys,

I understand that you are experiencing an issue where instead of seeing the content of the cell, you see the formula as text in the formula bar. This can be frustrating, but there are a few things you can try to fix it.
  1. First, try selecting the cell with the formula and pressing F2 to enter edit mode. Then, press Enter to exit edit mode. This should force Excel to recalculate the formula and display the result in the cell.
  2. If that doesn't work, you can try changing the calculation mode to automatic. To do this, go to the "Formulas" tab in the ribbon, click on "Calculation Options", and select "Automatic". This will cause Excel to recalculate all formulas whenever a change is made to the worksheet.
  3. If neither of these solutions work, it's possible that there is a problem with the file itself. You can try copying the contents of the affected cells and pasting them into new cells. This will create a new formula that should display the correct result.

If you are still having issues, please let me know and I will do my best to assist you further.

Formula:
Thank you
