I have a spreadsheet with column C that is a calculation (=A1+B1). As long
as i have data in columns A and B, there is a value in column C. When I put
activate an empty cell in column C (i.e. shares a row with no data in columns
A and B), the formula (=An + Bn) does not show up in the command line. But
when I enter data in this row (in columns A and B), then column C
automatically applies the formula. Why is this? I would expect to see the
formula (=An + Bn) in the active cell if a formula is going to apply.
