Switching Between Showing Formula Or Actual Result In A Cell ?
Hello:
Probably so simple, I'm embarrased to ask. I put in a formula such that in a cell there would be the SUM of a column of numbers. Pretty sure I did it correctly. When i look at the cell that should have the Sum, I see the formula. How do I switch between this cell showing the formular and/or the Sum ? Thanks, Bob |

But it might also be that the cell was formatted as TEXT before you entered the formula. Just formatting to something else doesn't
help; format as General or Number AND re-enter the formula (F2, ENTER) -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "Mike" wrote in message ... | or CNTRL + ` | | "Gary''s Student" wrote: | | CNTRL~ will toggle between formula display and results display. | -- | Gary's Student | | | "Mike" wrote: | | you may have missed the = sign from in front of your formula | | "Robert11" wrote: | | Hello: | | Probably so simple, I'm embarrased to ask. | | I put in a formula such that in a cell there would be the SUM of a column of | numbers. | Pretty sure I did it correctly. | | When i look at the cell that should have the Sum, I see the formula. | | How do I switch between this cell showing the formular and/or the Sum ? | | Thanks, | Bob | | | |
