how to put a formula in one cell and the result in a another cell
how to put a formula in one cell and the result in a another cell
Not possible, a formula can only yield the result in the same cell that
holds the formula, you can use VBA to get this done however

You cannot. Formulas can only return results to the cell in which they are
written.
You must have a formula also in the cell in which you would like to see the
result.
Something like =A1 where A1 is the cell with original formula.
OR skip the A1 part and write your formula in the results-to-be-seen cell.

Mark, what you could do is to place a link in the other cell to display the formula results from the cell which happens to have the formula...eg. if A1 has the formula and displays the result but u want it to appear in B1, then u just put "=A1" in B1...also if u dont want to display A1, u may change its font color and make it invisible and protect it so that no one my inadvertently delete it...
hope this helps...

If your goal is to see both the formula and the result at the same time, then
do as follows:
Enter the formula normally in the cell to display the result of the
calculation.
Enter the formula without the leading "=" to display the details of the
calculation in another cell.

Hi Mark,
You can't, as already indicated but you can document the formula
used in another cell see GetFormula macro in
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel...htm#getformula
You can also do the opposite, but I would not recommend that, because
with GetFormula you are simply reporting on a working formula.
