Toolbar question

[Jennifer H]

I lost the ability in the toolbars to see the full function band. I.e
somewhere where I can type in the forumula. Which toolbar or setting allows
this to happen?

Thanks

Try

View>Formula Bar

Jennifer,

You didn't say which excel version

e2003
Tools|Options - View tab - check 'Show formula bar'

e2007
Office button|Excel options|Advanced|Display group and check 'Show formula
bar'

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Actually Mike, View/Formula Bar works in both 2003 and 2007 , one is a menu,
one is a ribbon tab.

Bob,,

One day I'll learn to navigate the E2007 Ribbon, I'm getting there, you just
taught me another!! Thanks.
