It displays contents of the active cell.
It is possible for a formula not to have any cell references. Lots of functions do not use any values. To show the current date you could have the following in a formula:=TODAY()You could have a formula with a single cell reference with some operation being done on it:=B4*10You can have a formula that just has a cell reference which will just request that the current cell displays what is seen in another cell:=B4It is possible for a formula not to have any cell references.
