Did you actually try typing "display formulas" in Excel Help?
Of course not! Why should you? You're only a STUDENT!
Try a bit of RESEARCH first.

Sheeesh! Try Tools-Options and on the View tab check the "Formulas"
box......and do some research first. You're supposed to be LEARNING Excel,
remember?

Try Tools / Options / 'View' Tab / Tick formulas - Hit OK.

To reverse it, just repeat and untick.

Have you tried expanding the size of the columns to show the formula?
