You sure you havent got white text on a white background or similar? Formula is indeed correct and works as you indicated. -- Special-K ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special-K's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=7470 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=561173 |

It shows nothing at all in the cell the formula is in? I just tested the
formula and it worked when I put various things in Q34 on my sheet. "waladd" wrote: I have a formula that is not showing the result in the cells.

Sounds like cell(s) formatted as text.
Re-format to general then F2 and ENTER If you have a great whack of these to do............. EditReplace What: = With: = Replace all.

Check to see if this is the problem: Go to
'tools'...'options'....'view'....window options and see if there is a check mark next to formulas. If there is uncheck that box.

I can't see any reason whatsoever to feel dumb on this one. It does not seem
evident to me at all to change the cell to general. I am surprised this is not in the regular help text so thank you Gord. "Gord Dibben" wrote: Very common problem so don't feel too dumb.
