    How about if you just put the formula in E instead of in D?
    E1=A1+B1+C1
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

    No the result should be in column "d" but the formula must be in the column "e".

    Formula evaluates the result. In simple without VBA approach it is not possible

    if you want the answer to be in D, but the formula to be in E (cant see why you would want this, but OK), put the formula in E
    E1=A1+B1+C1
    then format the text to be white, it will look like there is nothing there, then in D1
    =E1

    OK, you have been given a few different suggestion, none seem to be what you want.

    I suggest that you give more detailed explanation into what you want, what you are doing, and what your expected outcome would be - otherwise we are just guessing

    Hi Mahesh,

    In column F put the formula, copy that, select column E, do paste special -> link

    Or

    You can put the formula in column E only and then do copy paste special values - either manually or through vba (macros)
