Find "Look in" box does not show 'values' on 'formulas'
 

When working in Excel worksheet, I choose Find or Find and Replace, click on
Options Button, go to Look in drop down list box and only Formulas is a
choice. There should be Values. Is there a setting somewhere that i need to
change?

Find supports looking in values, formulas or comments.

Replace only supports looking in formulas. (Constant values are considered
formulas in this case, too.)

The choices really mean this:
Formulas = whatever is typed into the cell
Values = the value/text returned from a formula in a cell
Comments = comments

So, Formula will work on values or text that are typed in manually, it
doesn't need to be switched to Values for this.

And you can't do a Replace on a Value, as defined above. Since it
doesn't actually exist as typing. That's why it isn't available. Make
sure you are only in Find, and it should allow you to select Values or
Comments.
