Hi! Where can I change the cells to show the formulas (rather than the result of the equation) Thx.
 
RG,

You can go to the Tools menu, Options, then the View tab. There,
check the "Formulas" option. Or you can use the keyboard
shortcut, CTRL+`

Rather than toggling between the formula view and the normal view,
I generally prefer to show the formula(s) that I am interested in with a
user defined function so I can see the formula actually in use at the
same time as the results. See GetFormula and GetFormulaD
user defined functions at the top of
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/formula.htm

Disadvantage of toggling to the formula view -- you don't see
formula and result at same time and the formula view column width
will probably be inadequate -- the column width is doubled to
help you see the formulas.

Disadvantage of a separate listing, you basically have to print it,
it may be a long list,
and it will probably not be current as you probably went through the
steps of creating the list in order to correct some formulas.
