WorkingStiff Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Why does Excel assume that if the user types 1+1 into a cell, that the data are text, not formulae? This is really annoying -- if I needed a word processor, I wouldn't be using Excel.
jaclaz Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Very simplified: the first character in a cell deteremines the type of the data in it."Canonical" way, input:=1+1Working, alternative way, input:+1+1jaclaz
