The FORMULATEXT function returns a formula as a text string. FORMULATEXT returns what is displayed in the formula bar when you select a cell.

FORMULATEXT(reference)

reference: A cell or range of cells.

Examples
Given the following table, which shows the result of basic numeric formulas using the cells in column A, including SUM, AVERAGE, MIN, MAX, MEDIAN and COUNT:

	A	B
1	Value	Results
2	56	300
3	74	50
4	24	17
5	87	87
6	42	49
7	17	6

=FORMULATEXT(B2) returns “=SUM(A2:A7)”, which is the formula used in cell B2.

=FORMULATEXT(B6) returns “=MEDIAN(A2:A7)”, which is the formula used in cell B6.
