See the following for the bad news...
"...Can't Use Find/Replace on Text with Leading Apostrophe"
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q214285

You could use a space followed by the apostrophe to display formulas.
Replace works with those two characters in that order.
Also, a properly written macro can clean up formulas with a leading apostrophe.

wrote in messageHi.
I have a worksheet where I want to show only some of the formulas used in
it. That is why, instead of using the option "Show formulas" from the
formulas Tab, I insert a ' before the = in the cells I want to see the
formula.

But when I want to show results once again, in order no to look for each
formula in which I added the ', I use the Find and Replace Option. In Find I
specify '= and leave in blank the Replace option. But Excel shows me the
following message: "Excel cannot find the data you are searching for".

Cannot figure out the correct way of doing it...
Thanks in advance for your help
