Please help me!! I have worked for 2 days at work on this to no avail and I'm out of time and patience!!
A1 is a cell that has to show an equation. B1 is the answer to the equation. How to I insert a formula into B1 so that when the equation is typed into A1 the answer is populated in B1?
example: A1 has this equation typed out: 1000*26/12
how do I get B1 to populate the answer to this ($2,166.67)?
You need VBA function for that..
Right click a sheet's tab, select View Code
Click Insert - Module
Paste the following code
Then you can use a formula in B1

Oh my goodness you are an angel!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
You're welcome.
One more thing - when I save it, it told me I needed to change the file type to enable macros. So I did. But when I open it back up, the formula and module are still there, but when I type an equation in A1, B1 returns #NAME?. What do I do to fix it to where each time it's opened it works correctly? I will be distributing the "template" spreadsheet to others to use for many different files.
Make sure you have macros enabled.
File - Options - Trust Center - Trust Center Settings - Macro Settings.
Also, you may have a security warning on the top when you open the file telling you that macros are disabled.
Genius!! Thank you again!
