Hi Joseph,

Your computer won't explode when you do, so you can just try it :).

Putting E2-F2 in a cell without the '=', thus not being a formula, Excel will recognise it as a string of text. So the cell will read E2-F2.

Putting an '=' in front of it, turns it into a formula. Now the result will depend on the values entered in E2 and F2.

Best regards,
Trowa
