MS Office Forum / Excel / Excel Errors / February 2006EXCEL CALCULATIONS
I am trying to perform a simple calculation: =j56-k56 I cannot get any formulas to calculate, only show the actual formula itself I have checked that these cells are formatted as numbers This seems to happen on any cell I try in the worksheet I take it you have values in cells J56 and K56? If you type in =j56-k56, it should change to =J56-K56, and give a total. Else try the insert formula icon, and type in your formula that way. If you still have no joy, your cells may be formatted as text? > I am trying to perform a simple calculation: =j56-k56 > I cannot get any formulas to calculate, only show the actual formula itself > I have checked that these cells are formatted as numbers > This seems to happen on any cell I try in the worksheet Steve Is this just in one book or all?
