Simple Question
This might seem like an odd question but I have not been able to find the
answer before. I have been getting sent quite a lot of spreadsheets and it has formula in it that look something like this: =+A2*A3 If I was doing this formula I would miss out the + sign, what does the plus sign in this formula actually do. Thanks for any info... |
