There are a few things you can do. Go to the Tools Menu, then pick Options, the View and down near the bottom left there is a tickbox beside Formulas. If you tick it and then click OK, all your formulas will be displayed. One problem is that it will widen out some of the columns in order for the formulas to show properly. So if you don't want that to happen and are just interested in seeing one particular formula, then to see an individual formula, just click on the cell and the formula will be shown in the formula bar near the top of the screen. Another option is to press the F2 key when you are on the cell and it will show the formula in the cell.

There is also an option to select cells that are formulas. Open the Edit Menu and click Go To. Then click Special. There is an option there that you can click that will highlight the cells that have formulas.

Is it possible to insert a number into a Microsoft excell cell with a formula already in the cell automatically generating an answer without having to write the formula everytime?

If a formula is in a cell and a number is entered into the same cell, then the formula will be gone and replaced by the number. You can enter a number in a cell that is referenced by a formula in another cell. The cell with the formula in it will update when the number is entered into the other cell. Say you change the value in A2 and the cell A3 contains the formula: =A2*10 Then the total in A3 will update when any change in A2.
