View formulas in Excel

If you've ever wanted to view your formulas in an Excel worksheet, perhaps because you suspect one has been overwritten by data or you need to troubleshoot something press CONTROL + ~ to display formulas so you can troubleshoot or debug them. Press the same keystroke again to return to your regular view of your worksheet.

If you select a cell with a formula in it before you press CONTROL + ~ you will see not only the worksheet formulas but also all the precedents to the formula in the current cell.
