How do I view formula results intead of formula in excel?
I have a spreadsheet that someone email me and I am trying to add a formula
to it. Instead of the cell showing the results of the formula, it just shows the actual formula, "=VLOOKUP(F2,'[02-06-06 National Accounts with SC & CSA Info.xls]Sales Transformation Data'!$N$3:$O$3525,2,FALSE)" I tried Ctrl ` as suggested from Microsoft Help, but that seemed to toggle the column widths. |

How do I view formula results intead of formula in excel?
Hi
2 possible reasons. a) All cells with formulas are formatted as text. Format them as General/Number/Date etc., and then replace all "=" with "=" (EditReplace from menu). b) 'Formulas' is checked in ToolsOptionsView. Uncheck it -- Arvi Laanemets ( My real mail address: arvi.laanemets<attarkon.ee ) "davidinatlanta" wrote in message ...

Hi David,
CTRL+` (the accent on the key next to 1 on top row of typewriter keys) should work If not, try Tools | Options; open View tab; look in lower part (Window options) and uncheck Formulas best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "davidinatlanta" wrote in message ...

Thank you all for your quick posts. I tried your suggestions to no avail. I
looked at a different spreadsheet to see if the ctrl + ` works and it did there. But for some reason, it doesn't want to work in this one. I selected the entire spreadsheet and changed the format to General, I changed out all the "=" with "=", it is still a mystery.
