The cell is too narrow to display the number.

Either make the cell wider or in some cases alter the number format (reduce decimal places).

Can you explain what you mean? Are you talking about the individual characters ("/" etc), or does Excel show the string "/ < >" somewhere, or what?

  • To post a question, hit the "start a discussion" button at the top.
  • The "$" makes it an "absolute" reference. That means it won't change if you copy or move it to another location. If you want to follow this up further, please start a new discussion thread.

Thanks for that. However, you're about a year late.
