Formulas Not Working
 

Hi Guys,

When I enter a formula into a cell it does not do anything. Just the
text of the formula is left sitting there.

Do you know why this is and how I can fix it.

Thanks for your help,

Steve Wilson.

Hi Steve,

Maybe your cell is formated at Text when you enter your formula.
Try to delete your formula then RightClick - Format Cells - Number
and chose General
The re-enter your formula.

Also maybe you have check-marked Show Formulars under Tools - Options
- View - Window Options... If so un-check it

Regards,
Bondi

I suggest you use another column, chances are the cell is formatted as text,
but changing it won't work.
