Formula
I have received an old spreadsheet built awhile ago. There is a hidden
formula and I can't figure out how it gets there. Example. if I punch a number in F8 the H8 appears with =D8-F8. it is not protected or hidden and no conditional formatting that I can see. its driving me crazy! :) |

Ok,
so let's start over, to understand before you punch a number in F8, there is no formula in H8, but when you punch a number the formula shows up, ??

Thats right. But when I delete the number in F8, the formula stays there.
I could email you the spreadsheet.
