Creating Simple Formulas

To edit a formula:

Sometimes you may want to modify an existing formula. In our example, we typed an incorrect cell address in our formula, so we need to correct it.

  1. Double-click on the cell that contains the formula you wish to edit. The formula will be displayed in the cell.

  2. Make the desired edits to the formula. In our example, we will replace C21 with B22.

  3. When finished, press the Enter key on your keyboard. The formula recalculates, and the new value displays in the cell.
