[SOLVED] missing formula bar

Hi I just opened excel and the bar at the top where you enter data and
formula is missing. So if I want to enter data I have to enter it in the
cell. How do I get this bar back and why did it disappear? Office XP with
Excel
Thanks Ron

Ron, try view, check formula bar

Open Excel , click on tools-->options-->view, and then check formula bar.
