    Display the fomula of one cell as the text string value of another cell? (2007)

    Hello,

    This is an oddball question, but here goes...

    Can I program one cell to display the formula of another cell (as a text string)?

    In other words, if the formula for A1 (as it appears in the formula bar) is:

    =SUM(Table[Orders])

    Can I program cell B1 to display "=SUM(Table[Orders])" as its cell value in the spreadsheet?

    Cheers,

    Jay

    Hit Ctrl+` to toggle between display of formulas and values.

    Otherwise, VBA.
