entering formulas in Excel 2007
I recently switched from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007. I am trying to use a
vlookup formula, however in the cell where I placed the vlookup formula I can only see the typed out formula and not the response. I am sure that the €śview formula€ť button is off, and if I look the formula in the €śview function€ť dialog box it shows the value that should be returned. Does anyone have any ideas to what I am doing wrong? Thanks |

Is this happening with one cell only or all cells where you have entered a
formula? If this is happening with all cells then try pressing CTRL-~ once. This toggles between showing the formula and its result.

This is only happening in the column that has the vlookup function. I do not
have problems with the other formulas on the worksheet. "Sheeloo" wrote: Is this happening with one cell only or all cells where you have entered a formula?

Thanks for your assistance on this, I was able to solve the problem, but I
still dont know why I was having problem. I was trying to enter the vlookup function in column B when I was having the problem, on a fluke, I tried the function in column N and it worked... pretty weird. Again thank you very much for your help!! "Sheeloo" wrote: Can you send the file to me )? "Charles" wrote: This is only happening in the column that has the vlookup function.

Sounds like column B is formatted as text. Try formatting the column as
General, then re-enter the formula. Regards, Fred. "Charles" wrote in message ... Thanks for your assistance on this, I was able to solve the problem, but I still dont know why I was having problem.
