Display results of formulas not the actual formula
I am working off an existing workbook and trying to do some basic
calcuations. When I type in a formula (=SUM(A1:A2) for example) the cell displays the formula not the expected result. It seems like the creator of the file turned off the calculation functionality. How do I turn it back on??? THANKS! |

Hi, Bridget-
It sounds like that cell is formatted as text, instead of formatted at "General" or a specific number format. If you'll right-click the cell, select Format Cells from the box that appears, and select the proper format from the list. |
