Sorry, the Excel is XP version with SP3.
Acctually this doesnt work:

Sheet2: E180 contains a text or a number.

Writing =Sheet2!E180 in a cell in sheet1 doesnt work.

The referencetext are just shown in cell, not the number/text from sheet2.

regards

Sounds like the cell the formula is in is formatted as Text. Try changing
the cell format to "General" then re-enter the formula.
