MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / June 2007formula rather than result displayed
I am adding formulas to a spreadsheet that was downloaded from another program (each cell appears to be a text formatted cell) but rather than the formula result being displayed the formula is being displayed. I've done the CTL+~ and also the Tools|Options|View methods of trying to switch between displaying formulas and results but always the formula is being displayed. I assume there is something set on this downloaded spreadsheet that is controlling this behavior but I don't have a clue on what it is. Can anyone suggest how reset this mode? John Keith kd0gd@juno.com Try this, first select the range with the formulas, then make sure the format is general, once that has been done do Ctrl + H, replace = with = replace equal sign with equal sign, that usually forces calculation  SignatureRegards, Peo Sjoblom >I am adding formulas to a spreadsheet that was downloaded from another > program (each cell appears to be a text formatted cell) but rather [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > John Keith > kd0gd@juno.com John, first select the range and do Edit, Clear, Formats. If you do this before you enter formulas, you won't have any problem. If not, then Peo's approach of changing = to = will work, but I suspect you have to first clear the formats for it to work.

Each of your solutions worked! Bob's solution was a little more permanent, using Peo's technique I had to reapply it every time I modified teh formula. John Keith kd0gd@juno.com
