Formulas can often be difficult in Excel. If you aren’t a math whiz, you may not recall the standard order of precedence that Excel uses. For example, within a formula, multiplication is performed before any addition or subtraction and calculations within parenthesis are performed before any others. If you do not understand how Excel is performing a calculation, you can use the Evaluate Formula option to make it clearer.
To use the Evaluate Formula option in Excel 2003:
- Within Excel, select the cell you want to evaluate.
- From the Tools menu, point to Formula Auditing and click Evaluate Formula.
- Click the Evaluate button to watch as Excel evaluates each step of the formula.
- To view the evaluation again, click Restart.

Years ago when I first learnt algebra, I was taught the nmemonic BODMAS - brackets, of, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction - for the order of math operations. “Of” is just an alternative to multiplication, when you say “half of”, for instance. Excel sticks to this order.
