Seeing the formula and not the result indicates that the cell you typed it in
was formatted as text before you typed.

Select the cell and hit F2 then ENTER

OR.....on that sheet you have "View Formulas" enabled.

Hit CTRL + `(backquote above Tab key) to toggle off.

The formula that i type in is all that shows.
I want to type in information on the first sheet and assign it specific
cells on the following sheets. Basically I am trying to get around having to
type in all the info and then sit and copy and paste every week.

Thanks,

Nathan

What does "unable to get it to work" mean to you?

Nothing happens? You get an error message? The file closes?

Please explain.

I need to know how to automatically update the following:

I want to type in the information once into
Sheet 1 Cell F3 (text)

then have Excel automatically update the (text) I typed into
Sheet 2 Cell D15

Is this possible?

Thanks,
