Found a formula with IF statements nested with {..} at its begining and end. Can not edit the statement. When I do, even if I make no changes, the brackets remove thenselves and the formula no longer works. What gives.

Thanks for the help.
 
Mico,

It sounds like you have an array formula. With these, you don't type the
{ }, Excel adds them when you enter with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, rather than just
Enter.So edit the formula, and then Ctrl-Shift-Enter, and you should be
there.
