Why does a formula take up 2 cells?
When I put this formula into cell N2, why does it occupy BOTH cells N2
and N3? =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(",",L2)),M2,L2) Thanks Mark246 |

It sounds like you've merged the cells. Please don't.

Hi Mark,
If the contents of a cell don't fit into the cell and it is not wrapped then it will be extended for viewing into the next cell on the row if that next cell is empty (no content, no formula). If you select the adjacent cell and look at formula bar, you would see that there is nothing there. If you actually see the formula in the cell then you are in formula view or have a bad formula that is seen only as text. -- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP -- Excel My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm "Max" wrote in message ... Did you read my further responses to you in your earlier thread? Btw, if you do copy formulas direct from postings, always try pasting directly into the *formula bar* (this avoids any ambiguity which may arise) -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Mark246" wrote in message ...
