Show formula in Excel in specific cells without activating show formula option:

Show formula in Excel in specific cells without activating show formula option:
Someone asked me about following table. How the Expression column in this table shows formula without activating Show formula option in Formula Tab à Formula Editing? In this column he access any cell in edit mode after lock the entry in the cell Excel shows the result instead of underlying value in that cell.
I solve above mention problem in following steps:
If you want to show formula in excel cell first select the cells


Then convert its category General to Text
 
After that type the formula: this formula extract Title from the Name of the Student

Now you are able to view the formula. If you want to convert it into formula to calculate by Excel you select the cells again

And convert its category text to general

Active any cell in expression column and press F2 key

and press Enter key Excel now calculate it.

 


Or if there are already formulas in cells and you want to view it without using the show formula option/ (Ctrl+`) (`acute accent key) or you want to view only specific cells not all in the sheet:
Step1: select the cells
Step2: change their category into Text
Step3: make it active and press F2 and lock the entry
Now it will show the formula……….
