In Excel, the content of the active cell, including its formula when applicable, is shown in which bar?

• A. Formula Bar
• B. Status Bar
• C. Name Box
• D. Scroll Bar

Answer: (A)

The formula bar is where you see the content of the active cell, including the formula if there is one. It sits above the worksheet and always reflects what’s in the currently selected cell, letting you read or edit the value or formula directly there. If you’ve got a formula, you’ll see the actual formula syntax in this bar rather than just the calculated result. You can edit it in the bar or press F2 to edit in the cell. The other bars serve different purposes: the status bar at the bottom shows quick statistics like sum or average for selected cells, the Name Box shows the cell address or a defined name, and the scroll bar is for moving around the sheet.
