Cell shows formula not the result
Hi
I have an unusual problem. When I change the formula (in this instance a VLOOKUP when I change the range) the cell shows the formula not the result, (as if I had put a ' before the = or typed CTRL+`) - It only effects cells I change in one column in my spreadsheet - If I drag the original formula down I dont get this problem - I do not think I have changed any settings I am using Excel 2003 SP2 on Windows XP Pro SP2 Thanks in advance for any help |

Cell shows formula not the result
The cell was formatted to Text after the formula was applied.
For example put =1+2 in a cell - cell will show 3 - formula bar shows the formula Format the cell as Text - cell STILL shows 3 - formula bar STILL shows the formula Edit for formula, make the 2 into a 5 - now the cell shows only the formula -- Gary's Student gsnu200703 "ExcelEd" wrote: Hi I have an unusual problem.
