"IF" function returns function instead of result
Hi. I have a simple '=IF(K7="LF",L7," ")' function in my workbook to display
the value in cell L7 if the Logical Test is "TRUE", otherwise leave the cell blank. When I'm building the function and insert the arguments, it shows me the correct result ... but when I hit "OK" to insert the function, it displays the actual function rather than the result. Why? Thanks for any help. Cindy |

Cindy,
Goto Tools Options Uncheck "Formulas" in the Window options section OK Hopes this helps. --- Per "ckrogers" skrev i meddelelsen ... Hi.

Unfortunately, that box isn't checked ... and I have many other formulas in
my workbook that are working correctly. Any other suggestions? Is it possible I have TOO MANY formulas in the workbook?

Someone else suggested that my cell was formatted as Text and should be
General. I changed it as suggested and that fixed my problem. Thank you all!
