Formulas showing as text rather than values
 
I have this formula in a cell
=IF(A2=A3,"Match", "NoMatch")

However what shows in that cell is the =IF statement itself, not the
value "Match" or "NoMatch".

Any suggestions are welcome

Hi,

It could be that your cell is formated at Text.
Try to delete the formual and then Format the cell as Generel. Then
re-enter the fromula.
