Why is there ' = ' at the front of a formula.

RE: Excel 2007

Hi Helena,
Thank you for your post, To answer your question, Excel requires the = sign at the beginning of a Formula or Function, this is a command to Excel to expect either of these operations, its like saying "What is the answer to:.....", without it you would only be entering in text to the cell. I hope that helps, best regards, Pete.

Excel tip:

Switching Between Spreadsheets

As the Alt+Tab key switches between loaded applications or files, Ctrl+Tab switches between loaded or open Excel files. Hold down the Ctrl key until you have tabbed to the correct spreadsheet.
