Andreas Guelzow  commented on OFFICE-3426:
------------------------------------------

Note that the suggested "FormulaToString" already exists. It is called "FORMULA".

I don't understand why we should need "Making the "=" a should in formula. "

If I put a formula in A1:     =PI()
and in A2:                           =FORMULA([.A1])

then A1 will show the value and A2 the formula used to obtain that value.

I would like to suggest: no action

> Because it would be handy to do the following:
> Cell A1 and A2, in A2 there s a formula, the cell shows the result of
> that formula.
> In cell A1 I want to store how the formula looks.
> I would need for this:
> something to distinguish formula that are formula and formula that are
> just strings that I want to show.
> Another handy thing would be a FormulaToString(cell) function that
> takes a cell as input and shows a string that is the textual
