Evaluate formula

Amid this festive, sunday & cricket mood.. lets have another posting....

If you have a lengthy nested formula and you are not sure about the result, it is better to debug and evaluate the formula one step at a time to find out whether the result, which is coming is correct or not.


Now to evaluate this formula step by step follow these steps:
  1. Select the cell with the formula, which needs to be evaluated
  2. Go to the Formulas tab of the ribbon. On the formulas tab, select evaluate formula from the Formula Auditing group.



3. From the Evaluate formula dialog box, click on evaluate to get the result of the underlined part of the formula. Pressing evaluate again will show the result of the next underlined part of the formula. This process can be repeated till the time the entire formula has been evaluated.
