    Question How to insist to show results for all formulas?

    Hi,

    I have a lot's of formulas on spreadsheat. Some of them simple like (=R[-101]C), others more complex like(="LOC_" & VALUE(MID(R[-101]C[-8],5,6)) + 101).
    Some of cells show result while others show formulas instead. When I press F9 while editing for formulas which doesn't display result it shows correct result - so, formulas are correct.
    Somehow I insisted for some columns to show results but could not reproduce it for others.

    How to insist to show results for all formulas?

    I use Excel 2007.

    Thanks,
    Sergiy

    If you "re-enter" formulae the cells will coerce from Text to General and results will be displayed... a few ways to do this:

    1 - highlight cells affected and run Edit -> Replace: What: = With: =
    2 - highlight cells affected one column at a time and run Text to Column -> click Finish
    3 - format cells to General - edit formulae individually and press return (ie F2 -> Enter)

    Option 1 likely to be your best bet...

    Hi,

    Item 1) is working perfect for me. Thank you very much for this.

    As far as I understand it flushes cells' format to some default format state while replace which cause formula calculation, am I correct?

    Thanks,
