Default what should be simple

Select the cell, then menu FormatCellsNumber and select General. Then hit
F2 and then Enter. Should clear it.

Thanks Mike. It seems to work. I'll test the whole database to be sure
:)
Another question: the index formula messed up when I extended the database
and now returns the formula itself instead of the result

=index(i2:at2,match(b2,g2:at2,o)

Trying to use a formula that will return the text of a cell in the min
group

Hi,

Maybe something like the in G2 & O2

=IF(N2<"",K2/N2,"")

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

b2 =min(g2,o2,w2,ae2)
g2 =k2/n2
o2 =s2/v9

b2 works when all the cell formulas have data to compute, but does not
work
when one of the formulas returns the error msg #div (no data)

Thanks for your help
