Formula input error help
 

I enter complex mathmatical formulas in excel spreadsheets frequently. If
something isn't quite right xl makes suggestions on how to correct the
formula. I never choose yes and then another warning pops up that tells what
it thinks is wrong. This is a waste of time and very irritating. Is there
any way just to turn all that assistance stuff off and have it place the
word error
or something in the cell? I am perfectly capable of finding the problem
without the program's help.
