You can get help for the function in the Functions Browser, choose values for the arguments, show the formula as text temporarily, or convert it to text permanently by clicking arrows in the formula editor (as shown below).Ĭonverting the formula to text closes the formula editor and leaves the text version of the formula in the cell. The function appears in the formula editor with all of the required and optional arguments for the function. Type a function name (or terms associated with the function, such as “address”) in the search field at the top of the Functions Browser, or browse the available functions, then double-click the name of the function you want.
