My Excel formula is currently =Division!B81 Display value is 0 (zero) which is correct.

When I changed the formula to =Division!C88 the cell displays the formula rather than the value.

The Evaluate Formula explanation is "The cell currently being evaluated contains a constant". How can I fix this so the correct value displays?

Automatic calculation is on, format is set to General.

Thanks, Becky

Check the formula again. You probably have an apostrophe starting the cell i.e '=Division!C88 as opposed to just =Division!C88
