where is the result ?
just created a new spreadsheet. When entering formulas in a cell, the result does not appear in the cell, just the formula. What must I do to have the result of the formula appear rather than the f...
Start Excel and call up the desired document.
If you are working in the Office 365 version of Excel,
press the key combination (CTRL) + (Shift) and (´).
In older versions of the software you must use the combination (Ctrl) + (#).
After pressing the key combination once, you should only see the result again as usual and no longer the entire formula.
Hope I was able to help you with this information.

- Hey Niko, What are those hot keys? I tried them and they did some sort of copy value from cell above into this cell and leave in edit mode
Hi Matt,
ITried it again with Excel 2016...it works...shows all formulas in the worksheet and vice versa.The single quote can easily be confused with the back quote.A back quote is needed here.Excel keyboard shortcut shows formulas in the whole spreadsheetAnother way to display the formula in a cell is to use the shortcut [CTRL] + [SHIFT] + [`] under Windows, but this only works from Microsoft Office 2016 or Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365).For older versions of Excel, you must press the Excel key combination [CTRL] + [#].- Thank you all. The problem was when I originally formatted the spreadsheet, I had set it to text for all. Once I made the correct change for the cells where numbers or currency were located, the problem disappeared !! Again, thanks all.......appreciate the speedy response !!! Thumbs-up to all !!
