There is Cell A1:
=1+2+3+4
how to remove "=" so that Cell B1 is:
1+2+3+4
(NB. it is not same as CTRL+~)
It should use function e.g. REPLACE, SUBSTITUTE etc at B1 for my backup,
instead of CTRL-F + ALT-P to replace.

You could use the Find/Replace dialog and simply replace = with nothing.

FORMULATEXT() Applies To: Excel 2016 Excel 2013 Excel 2016 for Mac Excel for Mac 2011 Excel Online

Under excel in office 365,
if cell A1 is =1+1
both the following at cell B1 give "#NAME? :
=ShowFormula(A1)
=SUBSTITUTE(ShowFormula(A1),"=","")
How to solve this? (as I prefer not to use VBA)
Without using VBA (or XLM) a manual replace is the only option I am aware of.
decide what you want to use!!!Originally Posted by london7871
it works under 2016 64-bit so should work on 365 too.Please Login or Register to view this content.

Did you use the code in Module or in worksheet?
I have not used the code in Module or in worksheet.
It is better not to use the code or VBA as my excel will be sent to other users with excel 2003.
VBA works on all version.
You didn't read carefully my posts.
If you don't want VBA re-read post#10 (and write instruction to others: how to see formula)
edit:
one more thing - if you want to see formula in-cell, select cell with formula, hit F2 and you will see it, after that hit Escape (Esc) to hide formula without changing.
should work on all version of excel

In this case, You can only send without formula in those cells or you can share this code (showformula) to the user.
That's not completely accurate. In addition to Excel 2008 not having VBA at all, there are some IT departments that prevent the use of VBA by not installing it, or by only allowing digitally signed add-ins to run.
Thanks than_gold, sandy666 and xlnitwit for suggestion.
Are you talking about Mac version? I never use Mac and don't want to use it
but you are right, I should say : on all PC version (Pro)
Yes, Excel 2008 was a Mac version, but the VBA restrictions I mentioned usually apply to Windows versions.
So, info about MS-Off Ver: in profile should contain more details, ie. PC 2010 Starter
Perhaps but that wouldn't help if the user has, say, Office Professional Plus but his/her IT department have blocked VBA.
But we are talking about VBA and excel version not about IT Dept.
IT Dept. can prohibite save as also and many other features, in effect high ver. of excel will be very low version
They can say: you've paper and Excel is not needed.
