    Question How to show formula result in a cell, and its elements in another cell? to clear it

    Hi,
    Cell A1 is 1
    Cell A2 is 3
    Cell A3 is = A1+A2
    How do we display the formula in A3 to be shown as a formula in A4?
    And if the sheet has a lot of cells or rows that I want to do that with.

    In A4:

    =FORMULATEXT(A3)

    Thanks, my friend.
    Please, do you think that this technique is the best way to show others the formula for what I am doing? I mean if the other user is reading the worksheet, or if I am making a video to explain some pieces of stuff in Excel for others.

    No, in my opinion.

    It just adds clutter to a sheet.

    If you click on a cell with a formula, the formula bar SHOWS the formula and HOW it works can be determined using formulas/formual auditing, which steps you throught he process.

    @AliGW
    Yes, I've already marked it as solved (but from editing thread prefix as thread tools do not include the solved option) and given a reputation. Thanks, my friend

    @Glenn Kennedy
    OK. I will listen to and follow your advice.
    Thanks for the formula review tip, do you mean this part?
