Excel Formula

Hello,

I have typed a formula into the formula and it has been placed in the
appropriate cell. Unfortunately it will nor show the result of the formula in
the appropriate cell. The only way I can view the result of the formula is to
click on:

fx and a little box pops up with the result off the formula.

All the times I have used excel the result is automatically placed in the
appropriate and the formula is not shown unless I click on that cell. Is
there some setting I need to change for this to happen?

Adagio

The most likely explanation is that the cell in question was formatted as
text before you tried to enter the formula. Format as text then re-enter the
formula (F2 and enter).
If it isn't that, check that you haven't set the option to View Formulas.
[The latter would apply to all cells, so you'd see no results, only
fomulae.]
