Make sure the cell is not formatted as Text
(Format|Cells|number tab) If you change the format, then reenter the formula. Make sure you're not looking at formulas: tools|Options|view tab|uncheck formulas Make sure you didn't start your formula with a space character. ssrvant wrote: I have a simple formula A1 = 2 A2 = 3 In Cell A3 I want to put this formula: =A1+ A2 When I press enter, I should get 5 as my answer in Cell A3, but when I press enter "=A1+ A2" is displayed in cell A3 any ideas? ssrvant -- Dave Peterson |
