Formulas displayed in all of my cells

I had a completed worksheet that was working properly. Somehow, the sheet
was changed so that every cell displays the formula instead of the result.
Date cells display the absolute date number. I don't know how it happened,
and I don't know how to get it back. I can not simply reformat the cell, and
I don't see any sheet formatting functions or view functions that would
globally fix.
 
Try this:

From the Excel Main Menu:
<tools><options><view>...UNcheck: Formulas

or...the shortcut....
Ctrl+~..........That's: Hold down the Ctrl key and press ~

Does that help?
Post back if you have more questions.

Thanks so much. What a relief. It is also embarassing that it was so
simple, and I didn't find it. Thank you.
 
Thanks very much. I did it both ways. The short cut was especially helpful
because it explained how I did it. I was leaning over the left side of my
keyboard to unplug the power cord from the back of the docking station, and I
must have hit the two shortcut keys. Thanks for taking the time to help me.
 
You're very welcome.....I'm glad I could help.
