The "name box" disappeared from the tool bar. The name box is ususally on
the left end of the format tool bar. It allows the user to view the
underlining formulas etc. as opposed to the data or answer displayed in the
cell.

One way:

Tools/Customize. In the Toolbars pane, select Formatting toolbar (e.g.,
"Formatting" highlighted, not just the checkbox checked). Click Reset.

The "name box" does not display the formula in a cell.

The Formula bar is what you are looking for. It has the name box(for showing
names) at the left end.

Go to ViewFormula Bar and check it.
