All of us in the office use Excel 2007, but when some of us hover and hold our left mouse down between the columns or rows we can see the actual measurement displayed. Does anyone know how to turn this feature on? I have have gone through all the "Excel Options" and can't figure it out.

Feeling kinda silly not knowing how to do this!

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.

I am not sure why you are asking that question because, as far as I know, it is always on... I do not think you can turn ever it off. The key is to left click the line separating the columns or rows within the header area (where the column letters or row numbers are displayed).
