Why does forumula show in cell instead of formula result?
Sometimes when I enter a formula into an Excel cell, the formula itself is
displayed in the cell instead of the formula result. However, when I open Formula Wizard, the Wizard shows the correct formula result that should be displayed in the cell. Why does this happen and how do I get it to stop happening?

It sounds like the cell is formatted as TEXT.
Change the cell format to General. Then, with the cell still selected hit function key F2 then hit Enter. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Ashley" wrote in message ...

Or you could be looking at formulas
In xl2003 menus: tools|options|view tab|uncheck formulas (It's under the Office Button|Excel options (somewhere) in xl2007.) Or you can use: ctrl-` (ctrl-backquote (the key to the left of the 1/! on my USA keyboard) to toggle this setting in any version of excel.
