why do some use "=+" at the beginning of a formula?
I have found a few spreadshets from others where they start every formula
with a + sign immediately after the = sign. e.g. =+ROUNDUP(SUMPRODUCT(P25:DV25,P$21:DV$21),-1) =+E26+G26+H26 Anyone know why they do it? |

It's a holdover from Lotus 1-2-3 days which started formulas with a + sign.
Using both = and + is superfluous. One of them can be deleted. Regards, Fred. "RocketRod" wrote in message ...
