Formula bar
I have a Mac and use 2008 version of Excel. Should I have a formula bar on this version?
RE: Formula bar
Hi Wendy,
Thank you for your question. Although I don't personally use a Mac, I understand that it works as follows:
Click on View > Formula Bar, then tick the option to display the formula bar. This is the quick fix.
However, apparently sometimes the box is already ticked and you can't see the formula bar. Also, you can't tick or un-tick the box. The fix would then be to close Excel, press and hold the Control and Shift keys and then open Excel.
This is meant to reset the tool bars and the formula bar should show. If the formula bar "floats", simply drag it to the top where it will dock to its proper place.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards
