formula displays, not the text
I want to repeat cells (titles) in multiple sheets referencing the text from
sheet1. However when I properly type in the formula, it is the formula that displays, not the text. Any suggestions? Is the worksheet protected in some way? It has been shared by a couple of co-workers. I can do it properly in a new worksheet |

And after you change the format, re-enter the formula by pressing F2 followed

Mike, Check the format of the cells that you are entering the formula in prior to entering. If they are formatted as Text prior to entering the formula, the result will be that you see the formula. If this is the case, re-format to General, enter your formulas and then you can re-format back to Text. If not, check the workbook options. ToolsOptionsView if the checkbox next to Formulas is selected, deselect it, click OK and go back and try entering your formulas again.
