Formula calculation
I am trying to calculate a column using the VLOOKUP function. When I enter
all of the variables, the function wizard shows the right results, but when I hit enter to go to the next line, the forumla shows in the cell, not the results I just saw in the wizard. I am also having a problem with the same spreadsheet tyring to change a forumla that was working fine earlier, but now does the same thing as the problem described above. I change the formula, but when i go to save it, it just shows the forumula , not the results. |

Either you have "Show formulas" checked...................CTRL + `(backquote
above Tab key) to toggle off/on. Or the cells are pre-formatted as text. Format to General then F2 + Enter to re-enter the formulas.

Thanks so much, I thought it had to be something simple, just couldn't see it. The problem was the text formating, changed it and recalculated. Works fine. Thanks again.
