Hey Mahender, *N() *formula is used to hide the text. Its similar to *comments *in any other programming languages.
Ex: Lets say i want to find out the area of a rectangle. Then the formula is a*b. In cell A1, i write =5*6+N("side1*side2"), the answer you get is 30. But you cannot see N("side1*side2) in your result. But if you press F2 then you can see that. So basically N() formula will help the user to know what the formula is all about. I think this helps.
