Well, formulas in general don't always start with a sign, but it might be talking about Excel, where they always start with an equal sign (=).

∙ 6y agoAll formulas begin with the equals sign (=) to let Excel know you want the entry to be interpreted as a formula.
For Example:
=SUM(A1:A10)
=AVERAGE(B5:B24)
If you do not put in the equals sign first, the formula will be treated like a piece of regular text. The equals sign tells Excel that it is a formula.
