Hello:

Probably so simple, I'm embarrased to ask.

I put in a formula such that in a cell there would be the SUM of a column of 
numbers.
Pretty sure I did it correctly.

When i look at the cell that should have the Sum, I see the formula.

How do I switch between this cell showing the formular and/or the Sum ?

Thanks,
Bob 

you may have missed the = sign from in front of your formula

But it might also be that the cell was formatted as TEXT before you entered the formula. Just formatting to something else doesn't 
help; format as General or Number AND re-enter the formula (F2, ENTER)
