FAQ
Q1: After enabling Show Formulas, the column width is insufficient to view the full formula. What should I do?
- Solution: You can drag the column boundary to adjust the column width, or use "Home" → "Wrap Text" to display the formula on multiple lines.
Q2: Why do some cells display results instead of formulas?
- Solution: The cell content may not be a formula but a fixed value, or there is an apostrophe (
') before the formula acting as a text prefix.
Q3: Does Show Formulas affect the calculation results of formulas?
- Solution: No. Show Formulas only changes the display mode; the formulas themselves continue to calculate normally.
Notes
- After enabling Show Formulas, the column width will automatically increase to accommodate the formula content
