no formula results in cell
I am trying to get results for a simple =(A2-INT(A2))*24 but this formula is
the only thing in the desired cell. I tried reformatting cell to general, number, you name it. Having same problem with concantenate function. Formula stays in cell, no results. Any help? |

1. clear the cell ( will get rid of any hidden apostrophies)
2. format as general 3. then re-type the formula ( do not paste it in ) -- Gary''s Student "schuldies21" wrote: I am trying to get results for a simple =(A2-INT(A2))*24 but this formula is the only thing in the desired cell.

Either you are in Formula View or the cells are formatted as text.
Changing the Format alone won't do the trick. For the first, hit CTRL + `(back quote above TAB key) to toggle View Formulas on/off. For the second, Format the cells to General then F2 and ENTER to see results. If you have already done a great whack of these formulas, select all and EditReplace what: = with: = Replace All and OK.

Since you know that one, can you tell me the keystroke shortcut to view all of the formatting attributes in a cell? I knew there was one some time ago but now I don't know where to find it again. |
