    Displaying a single formula

    Hi

    The function to display formulas is CTRL ` this shows the formulas for the entire sheet.

    Is there a way to display a formula on its own, without all the other formuals in the sheet being displayed? I have tried selecting a single cell and selecting CTRL ` but that dispalys all formulas on the sheet.

    Many Thanks for your help

    Thanks Chris

    The reason for my question is that I need a speadsheet that displays the result of a formula in one cell and then on an adjacent cell the actual formula itself.

    However I just realised if I take the equals sign off the start of the formula, it displays the text.

    Thanks for your help

    You could put a single apostrophe before it.
