An equals sign is needed at the beginning of a formula. There is no particular character needed at the end of a formula. A cell reference will begin with one or more letters and end with a number. If it is an absolute reference, it would start with a $ sign. A mixed reference will start with a $ sign or a letter.

What is the thing typed in the active cell to start a formula?
The first character in a cell to indicate a formula is the equal sign (=).
A cell that is outlined in green and has data typed in it is the in Excel?
A cell that is outlined in green is normally the second cell referenced in a formula, when you start to edit the formula. It does not have to have any data in it. You could be referring to the active cell, but that is not outlined in green and again it does not have to have anything typed into it.
Does the formula bar in Excel display the value or formula of an active cell?
It displays what is called the Cell Contents. The Cell Contents are what was originally typed into the cell. If that is only a value, then it displays the value. If it is a formula, then you will see the formula that was entered. In the cell itself you will normally see the result of that formula, unless the worksheet has been set to show the formulas.It displays what is called the Cell Contents.

Where does Excel display data as it is typed?
In both the formula bar and the cell itself.
What always appears in a formula bar?
It can be empty, or have data in it or have a formula in it. It will always show what has been typed into the cell, known as the cell contents. A cell will show the result of a formula or data that has been formatted.
What are two types of cell contents excel?
The cell contents are what is actually typed into a cell. This is not always the same as what is displayed. So you can type a formula into a cell, which would be its contents, and the formula will do a calculation and display a result, which is the cell display. When you look at the cell you would see the result of the formula, but not the formula itself. The cell contents are always displayed on the formula bar. If you just type a number in, then the cell content and cell display can be the same. What you could then do is to format the cell and the number would be displayed in that format.
What is the data called that is displayed in the formula bar in Excel?
It shows the cell contents which can be things like numbers, text, dates or formulas. It will always show values that are unformatted. It shows what is actually typed into a cell, like a formula, even though the cell may show an actual result of the formula.
What is edit in Excel?
It is changing the contents of the cell, like changing a formula or putting a new value in it. You can start editing by clicking on the content in the formula bar or pressing the F2 key.Cell editing is making any changes to the contents of the cell whether the contents is text, data (numbers) or a formula. Double click on a cell and you can edit it in the cell instead of on the formula bar.
What is the difference between a Namebox and Formularbox in a Microsoft Excel?

What is the effect of typing f5 plus f6 into a cell without a beginning equal sign?

How do you fix circular data in Excel?
A circular reference error is caused when a formula directly or indirectly refers to the cell that the formula has been typed in. When this happens you will see the cell that the circular reference is in at the bottom of the worksheet. You need to check the formula in that cell and formulas in other cells that it refers to in order to find the problem. Then you can change the formula so that you can still do what you want without the error.
What are the advantages of using the point rather than typing the cell location directly into the formula?
Sometimes it is quicker. It also ensures that the right cell is chosen, as sometimes an incorrect cell reference may be typed. A person does not have to try to work out the cell reference.Sometimes it is quicker. It also ensures that the right cell is chosen, as sometimes an incorrect cell reference may be typed.
