In the PC version of Excel there used to be an equal sign on the formula
bar to rapidly change a number into a formula for calculations and stuff.
Now it¹s gone. Someone knows how to get it back there?

Thanks,

Mr. Borrego
 
Hi Federico!

Try:

Tools > Customize > Commands Tab > Insert classification
Select the = and drag it up to a toolbar
OK

Hi Norman,

I don't think that what the OP wanted in his multipost, I believe he wants
the functionality of the equal sign pre 2002 where it started a formula with
the contents of
the selected cell. This equal sign replaces what's in the selected cell.
 
Hi Peo!

Right! Never used it. I find that Debra covered this in a post:

No, the Equal Sign button is gone, and there's no way to replace it in
Excel 2002. You may find the following thread interesting:

You could create macro and add a custom button to your favorite toolbar.

the macro could look something like:

Option Explicit
Sub addEquals()
SendKeys "{F2}{Home}={End}"
End Sub
