Learn Excel from MrExcel podcast, episode 1691 - =FORMULATEXT() in Excel 2010!
Alright, so yesterday I was working on that formula for Leslie, and I had all these formulas here, and I really wanted to get the formulas out to the right, use FORMULATEXT.
But for whatever reason, here I am in Excel 2010, not Excel 2013, and so, we don't have FORMULATEXT.
Do I save this file, close Excel 2010, open Excel 2013, just to use formula text?
You know what, let's just do this: Alt+F11, Insert Module, and we'll create a little function here called Function FT, it stands for FORMULATEXT, MyCell as range.
And FT = MyCell.Formula , that's all what FORMULATEXT really does.
We just come out here, now =FT of this cell, copy that down, and we can see what our formulas are.
FORMULATEXT, it's a great thing I love it in Excel 2013.
Every once in a while I find myself in Excel 2010 saying "Ah, I really wish I had Flash Fill, I really wish I had FORMULATEXT." Those seem to be the two that come up again and again and again, but using this tiny little macro here will let you do FORMULATEXT in Excel 2010.
Hey, I want to thank you for stopping by, we'll see you next time for another netcast from MrExcel!
