Jana, you were right, I had a mistake in my formula! All is well now. Thank you so very much.

Doing insert-F5 also repeats the information in the cell. If this is not working for you, are you sure the formula is typed in exactly? There are no spaces within the formula. Hope this helps, Jana ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Robbie Miller Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 12:10 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Excel question Jana, jfw reads the formula, but not the results. How can I get the results? Thanks. Robbie ----- Original Message ----- From: Jana Schroeder To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 10:09 AM Subject: RE: Excel question Hi, A sample formula would be: =sum(c2:c50) Written out: equals sign sum left parentheses c2 colon c50 right parentheses In this example, you are summing column C, rows 2 through 50. To read (and edit) a formula that is in a cell, press F2. When you are done reading or editing the formula, press enter. Hope this helps.
