Why is my formula appearing in the cell not the value?
My formula calculation appears in the cell rather than the result/value- why
is this happening, and how can I stop this? Thanks |
check if the cell is formated as text
check to see if <tools<options<view has formulas checked. if it is still showing the formula select the equals sign and replace it. If noe of thes work, I don't know "smithers2002" wrote: My formula calculation appears in the cell rather than the result/value- why is this happening, and how can I stop this? Thanks |
If it's the entire spreadsheet that is behaving that way, press the Ctrl-~
(Ctrl-tilde) key combination. If it's a single cell or range of cells, they are formatted as Text. Change their format to some Number format, using the Format-Cells menu options "smithers2002" wrote: My formula calculation appears in the cell rather than the result/value- why is this happening, and how can I stop this?

ThankI am not sure why it does it but when it happens to me, I highlight the cells that I want to put the formula in and select EDIT - CLEAR - ALL and then enter the formula and it works. You may have to re-do the formatting. |
