Sounds like the sheet is protected,
with the setting for formulas to be hidden

If you're looking to do likewise, the basic sequence is,
with the cells selected:
1. Format Cells Protection tab Check "Hidden" OK
2. Tools Protection Protect Sheet OK

Hi there, my formula bar is displayed, and usually the contents (value or
formula) is displayed there. However, in another workbook that I did not
create, the contents of the cell does not display in the formula bar. I can't
seem to find anything in options to change this.
