    ReynosoOJ Well, you entered a calculation of -2,33 to the power of -5. Excel calculates and displays the result. Then you formatted the cell to show the scientific format. What would you expect to see otherwise?

     

    It's the same when you enter =2+2, Excel displays 4 in the cell but you still see =2+2 in the formula bar.
