Not sure what but in a cell I type =c59 and all I see is =c59 ...I want that "code" interpreted not taken literally ...how do I fix this has some property been set on the cell?


 

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.

Click to expand...
It sounds like the cell you typed that into is formatted as text... change the cells format to General and re-enter the formula.

Another possibility is that you have "Show formulas" selected.
On the formula tab is "Show Formulas" highlighted?
