    How can I see the formula used in this example

    Good Evening

    I have been using the attached document for years [I am not the author], I now want to create a completely different document but using the same idea of having a starting figure reduce/stay same etc depending on the response but I cannot work out how to see the formula used therefore cannot replicate.

    Can someone help please?

    TIA

    Debby

    Perhaps in the formula bar ? (the result ss in merged cells, bad practice)

    Thanks for the reply Pepe

    I cannot see anything in the formula bar, I assume you are referring to C15/16 being merged, this is the example I am asking for help on, as I stated I am not the author.

    If you're unfamiliar with the term formula bar.... Select the cell with the formula.... and there it is...

    If you click on the merged cell (C15), you should see the formula =SUM(D3:D14) in the formula bar.

    If you double-click on the merged cell (C15), you should see the formula, ready to be edited, in the cell.

    Hi Glenn and thanks for the reply

    I see and am familiar with the formula bar, what I am looking for is what has been used to generate the scores.

    If you populate the individual cells C3 through C14 using the drop down menu the score in C 15 decreases when a response of no is entered, it is this function/formula that I am trying to see.

    Are you talking about the numbers hidden in column D?

    To see those, highlight columns C:E > Right-click > Unhide
