Formulas in Excell 2007 nor working
When I try to use any function like =SUM(C154:C163), =COUNTIF(D2:D137,"a")
etc instead of giving the result it simply shown the formula as above in the cell. |

This means the cell is text formatted. One way round this...

I don't use 2007 but in earlier versions this could mean you are in "Formula
View" or the cells were pre-formatted as Text. If the latter, Re-format to General then on each cell, F2 and ENTER.

I tried to change the format of the cells but did not work. But going to
blank cell and changing their format to general before inserting formula worked. Thanks.

Did you read all of my post?
I said you must re-enter the formulas after re-formatting. That's what F2ENTER does. Saves you re-typing the formulas.
