Guide to display Excel function arguments hint
Guide to display Excel function arguments hint: In Excel, when you type a formula, the hint for the function arguments will appear by default, which is very useful to reduce errors while writing functions. But what if you don’t see this hint anymore when typing a function? That would be a serious problem for those who don’t remember functions, or only remember part of the formula (because the function is too long). This article from Buffcom.net will guide you on how to make the hint for function arguments appear again. Hopefully, readers will handle this situation well if encountered.
Step 1: Check the function when the arguments are hidden
The hint for the arguments appears by default in Excel when you type a formula. Those who are familiar with the formula will remember it and still pass the function arguments. On the contrary, for those who are not familiar with the formula, hiding the arguments will cause a lot of difficulties. In some cases, you may type a function and see a lack of hints for the arguments. For example, in the image below:
