    How to display the sub result in formula?

    Hi All
    I have cell A1 = 1; A2=2
    A3 = A1 + A2 = 3
    Formula Bar display at A3 : = A1 + A2
    Is there anyway to change to:
    A3 = 1 + 2
    Thanks in advance.

    No, that's not how Excel works.

    The closest thing I can think of to what you are describing is the Formula Evaluation tool. This is a debugging tool that brings up the cell formula in a dialog, then, as you step through the formula, shows you the values of cell references and the results of each calculation step. So, for the simple formula you posted, the dialog would first show A1+A2, then it would show that A1 is 1, A2 is 2, then it would show the result of the sum as 3.

    Is that useful?
