result of formula not displaying
I have a very simple search function (=SEARCH(" ",E2)) in my formula and when
i hit enter it only displays the formula, not the result. The formula is right and in the preview it shows the correct value. Why will it not display this value? |

That is what I have in the formula. I just used parentheses here. The
formula is exactly as you show it. "JRod" wrote: The right formula is: =SEARCH(" ",E2) -- JRod Microsoft MVP - Excel http://EXCELer.blogspot.com "Stupid Word User" escreveu na mensagem ...

It sounds like your cell may be formatted as text.
Remove the formula, from the Format Menu Select CellsNumberGeneral. Then retype the formula. Hope this helps Rowan Stupid Word User wrote: That is what I have in the formula.

And, for a second space, worked too: I put Jorge Manuel Rod, and the result was 13.
