Formula Showing In A Cell Instead of Proper Result
If your column or cell is formatted as "TEXT" then what is typed will be displayed as "TEXT" and not a formula. Select your cell or column then go to the MENU BAR - Select FORMAT - CELLS - Number tab - then select GENERAL. Then try retyping your formula - and you should get the results you want. Also make sure the "View Formula" is not selected. You can type "View Formula" in the "HELP" box - and get instructions on how to turn this feature On or Off. -- wjohnson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wjohnson's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=29640 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=518942 |
