No way to turn that off.

Type in the = sign.

Same like starting your car..........need to insert key and turn to start.

I often use excel as a fancy calculator. But often I forget to start the
calculator with the = sign. So if I want to add 44 + 66, I forget to
type in an = sign first, an it gives me an error message. Is there a
setting to turn that off, so I can type in 44 + 66 and it gives me an
answer.
