Equations appear as text
I have an old spreadsheet that I am now using with Excel 2007. My problem is
that when I enter an equation in a cell the equation appears as text such as =b784 instead of the value of the contents of cell B784. This is making me crazy. Please help! Thanks. |

Suspect that cell was pre-formatted as TEXT (unknown to you)
Try re-formatting it to either general/number, then re-trigger the formula by clicking inside the formula bar, press ENTER (Above are steps I'd do in my xl03. Do equiv. steps in your xl07) -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Dennis" wrote: I have an old spreadsheet that I am now using with Excel 2007.
