example: = 1/3
the answer is .333333333 but when i look in the formula bar.. my formula of =1/3 is no longer there, it is just the hard coded result. how do i fix this? thanks
One possibility is that you have VBA code that runs on any change in your spreadsheet, and that effectively does the same as a Copy, Edit, Paste Special, Values. So, check up on that, and post back.
Is it happening on all spreadsheets? I can't seem to get your result, only the formula result, showing 0.333333 in the cell, and =1/3 in the formula bar.
