Hi Gabriele,

one thing that could have been misunderstood. I wrote that there is only one way to get a formula working when you enter the formula string into a text cell: change the format to some number format and eliminate the single quote.

Of course the other way round is possible. If there already is a formula in a number cell you can change the cell format to text and so only format the formula's output.

But Thomas evidently had inserted the formula string into a text cell. So I didn't mention all the rest.

Happy Easter

First test:
A1: format: Number (default)
       input: 2
       shows: 2
B1: format: Number
       input: the string "=A1" (without the quotes)
       shows: 2

Me too. Expected.

Second test:
C1: format changed to Text
       input: the string "=A1"
          (without the quotes, manually or pasted from the clipboard)
       shows: =A1
       format changed to Number
       shows: '=A1
       change the content to =A1
       shows: 2

Me too. Completely unexpected.

I need to reset myself......
