How do I enable Excel's "formula prompt?"
Excel on my old laptop would "prompt" me as I entered a formula. By prompt, I
mean that a small beige box (comprised of a single line of text) would appear outlining the formula arguments as I typed. It was akin to the formula wizzard, but not nearly as comprehensive - a kind of reminder of the variables necessary to complete the formula. This ability was enormously useful and appears to be disabled on my new laptop. How can I enable it? |
