Please help me work Excel?

Question

I barely understand it..but I've got two boxes and applied the qoutient formula..but cant get the answer..just the formula in the box. please please help..im lost!

Answer 1

Two suggestions:

Check the format of the cell.  If the cell is formatted as "text" before you type in the formula, then it will disregard the formula and treat it as a text string.  Go to:

> Format > Cells > if "text" is highlighted, choose General.

Then, click on the cell, press F2 (to edit it) then press ENTER (to re-confirm it and change it's format).

Or, check if the sheet is set to display formula's instead of the formula results.  Go to:

> Tools > Options > checkbox: Formulas (you want it UNchecked).

Answer 2

make sure u put, = , befor u put in the formula

Answer 3

Are you getting an error message? For this particular formula (the quotient formula) if you're getting the #NAME? in the cell it means you need to load the Analysis Tool Pack add-in.
