Hi all,
As title states...

Cell A6= TEST

If i enter =A6 into cell B1 I get returned =A6. and NOT 'TEST' as I would have hoped.

Am sure this is a simple one but cant find whats wrong?!
 
2 options

1: cell is formatted as text. To resolve, format as general and re-input the formula

2: Tools>Options>View - untick "formulas"

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colours but they all live in the same box.
