Function Formula is displayed not results
 

Also, just be sure you have typed and equal sign at the beginning of your
formula.

Hi Kevin,
If F2 then enter fixes it or if F9 fixes it then you have calculation turned off.

Make sure you have calculation turned on
Tools, Options, Calculation (tab), Calculation: automatic
shortcut toggle is Alt+` (accent grave) or whatever is to left of the number row.

If that is not the problem then you probably have a space or other character
in the formula where it doesn't belong like before the equal sign.

If you don't see the problem/solution yet then try TrimALL macro

you might have CHAR(160) the nonbreaking space character ( )
which you are likely to have if you copy your data from HTML.

I can't get the cell to display the results of a formula. Only the formula
is displayed. Under options, view, the formula box is not checked. I'm
using concatentate and the fields are formated as text
