cells show formula like in formula bar, rather than result of form
hi - i must have hit a setting somehow as all new formulae i enter into
excel, do not return the result of the formulae - they just return the formulae itself (e.g. =e1). Existing formulae are not displayed so it's not a ctrl + ` issue! any help appreciated. |

Perhaps the cells with the new formulae in are formatted as Text.
Format them as General, then F2 followed by <Enter to bring about the change in format. Hope this helps.

It sounds like the cells have been formatted as text.
Select the offending range format|cells|Number tab|general (or anything but text) and reenter the formula. Or You could be looking at formulas.
