Setting Up Automatic Sorting The first step is to select the range of cells that you want to sort. This can be a single column, a row, or an entire table. Once you have selected the range, go to the "Data" tab in the Excel ribbon and click on "Sort."

The Excel FORMULATEXT function returns a formula as a text string from a given reference. You can use FORMULATEXT to extract the formula as text from a cell. If you use FORMULATEXT on a cell that doesn't contain a formula, it returns #N/A.

Depending on where you want to start extraction, use one of these formulas: LEFT function - to extract a substring from the left. RIGHT function - to extract text from the right. MID function - to extract a substring from the middle of a text string, starting at the point you specify.

Excel SORT Function Examples The formula, =SORT(B15:F23, 2, 1, FALSE) translates in English to: Sort the data in cells B15:F23, based on the second column, in ascending order, sorted by row.

Show formula text with formula The FORMULATEXT is fully automatic. When given the reference of a cell that contains a formula, it will return the entire formula as text. In the example as shown, the formula: =FORMULATEXT(C5) returns the text "=IF(B5>=70,"Pass","Fail")".

Method 2: Use a keyboard shortcut to convert formulas to text strings. Use the ALT+E+S keys to use the Paste Special option. On the Paste Special dialog box, click Values->OK.

Select the formula in the formula bar using the mouse, and press Ctrl + C to copy it. If you want to move the formula, press Ctrl + X to cut it. Press the Esc key to exit the formula bar. Select the destination cell and press Ctl + V to paste the formula there.
