    Automatically calculates cell as formula

    I am not sure what option I clicked but whenever I type in information in an excel cell it automatically inserts and = sign and calculates the cell. For instant if I type 5 + 5 in a cell it will automatically insert a = sign and show a value of ten instead of 5 + 5. Does anybody know how to take this of?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi udaman,

    Check the following setting:

    Tools -> Options -> Transition tab -> Transition Formula Entry

    With that option checked, simple math formulas will be evaluated by Excel without needing the = sign.
