I have forgotten how to display the formula associated with a calculated cell !

Excel Facts

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
What exactly do you mean by "display the formula"?

maybe this:

=FORMULATEXT(A1)

CTRL + the key next to 1, not sure what to call the symbols

or you could just add an apostrophe to always show it as text (but that stops working as a formula)

the formula might be =SUM(A1:A2)

I want to display the formula for a particular calculated cell.
It can be done with keyboard keys - but which ones ?

Thanks mole999.
The keyboard keys you suggest show all the formulars on the worksheet.

How to show the formular for a single selected cell ?

I must have been having a bad day.
No keyboard keys are needed.
There is a menu position Name @ Range that you can press to show the formula of a selected cell.
