Totally wierd
I have been using Excel for years and am runing 2003.
I have a file with 4 worksheets. The first (1) worksheet is where I imput some data into various cells. The second (2) is a Company Report whis is specifiec to only some of the data. Therefore I am using the simple formula reference process. In sheet "2" I type "=" prior to going to pointing to the cell I want to reference in sheet "1". With both cells formatted as "Text" it returns a "0", sometimes and a few cells over it works fine. I've never seen anything like it? Any ideas? |

If the source cell is empty the formula cell will return 0. If don't want to
see a 0 then try it like this: =IF(Sheet1!A1="","",Sheet1!A1) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Fritz" wrote in message ... I have been using Excel for years and am runing 2003.

What I should have added is that sometimes it entry remains just as typed
insted of converting it to a formula? "Fritz" wrote: I have been using Excel for years and am runing 2003. I have a file with 4 worksheets.

That sounds like a cell that's formatted as TEXT.
Select the cell in question. Goto FormatCellsNumber tabGENERALOK With the suspect cell still selected hit function key F2 then hit ENTER -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Fritz" wrote in message ...

If both cells are formated as text you should see the formula you post not
the "0". format the cells as General if you are going to use a formula "Fritz" wrote: I have been using Excel for years and am runing 2003. I have a file with 4 worksheets.
