Let's say those text formulas are in A2 and down.
Select B2.
On the Formulas tab, click Define Name.
In the Name box, enter Eval
In the 'Refers to' box, enter =EVALUATE(Sheet1!A2) where Sheet1 is the name of the worksheet.
Click OK.
Now, select from B2 down as far as the text formulas in column A go.
Enter the formula =Eval
Press Ctrl+Enter to enter the formulas in all selected cells.
Dear
Thanks a lot for helping. It is working fine.
One more question I want to ask to you, In excel, there is no formula / function in Formula List, then How you know "Evaluate" function will work here. How can I handle the problems if arises in future and different type of problems???
