Display Figures Used From Another Cell's Equation

Hi, Say I have the following data:

  • Cell L13 has the equation "=B20/D5"
  • Cell B20 = 45
  • Cell D5 = 5

So, I have used "=FORMULATEXT(L13)" to display the equation as "=B20/D5".

But how do I display in another cell the actual figures used?  So the new cell would display as "=45/5".

Many thanks, Edward.

Hi Edward,

There's no built in way to do this. You'd have to reconstruct the formula in a text string e.g.

=B20&"/"&D5

Which would return:

=45/5
