I need to enter the following text in a cell:
+A
It is important that it be without quotes. The problem is that it is reading it as a formula and automatically turning it into =+A and reading it as a formula. I do not want to enter this as a formula as it will give me the result #NAME? result. How can I accomplish this?
Simply add a single quote before the sign:
'+A
This will appear as +A
Or you could do something like:
="+A"
Another option yet would be to first format the cell as text and then you can input anything without excel wanting to treat it as formula.
Simple add a single quote before:
'+A

I would like to Pivot on row values to get Counts for my below data.
Expecting output to look like
I do not think you should (or can ?) use Pivot.
Some formulas like these should give needed values.
Note:
$F4 refers to the cell containing "Proficient"
$F5 refers to the cell containing "Enhusiast"
$F6 refers to the cell containing "Amateur"
A$2:A$10 refers to your data

So I have a few cells with a numeric value in parentheses. I'd like to count how many times each fruit occurs (apples, oranges, bananas) but also count the values in the parentheses as a sum. How would I go about this?
in D1:
=SUM(($A$1:$A$12=C1)+((LEFT($A$1:$A$12,LEN(C1))=C1)*IFERROR(--MID($A$1:$A$12,FIND("(",$A$1:$A$12)+1,FIND(")",$A$1:$A$12)-FIND("(",$A$1:$A$12)-1),0)))
Array formula So confirm with Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of Enter when exiting edit mode.

I have 2 columns, each with a numeric value. The third column is the PRODUCT of the first 2 columns but it is just numbers. I want to in the format of $xxxx.00 rather than xxxx.
What can I do to achieve this?
RIght click on the column header and choose Format Cells
Format the cell to currency. It's a command on the Home ribbon.

For a spreadsheet of mine, I want the sum of an entire column, no matter how many entries a column is. This was previously solved by
=SUM(A:A)
but I was wondering if there was a way to do all but the first 2 rows of column A.
=SUM(A2:A)
does not work. Thanks in advance!
You could use
=SUM(A:A)-SUM(A1:A2)
or, if you know that the cells you exclude are numeric,
=SUM(A:A)-A1-A2
MrExcel has a couple of suggestions:
=SUM(A3:A65536)
OR
=SUM(A3:INDEX(A:A,MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,A:A)))
=Sum($A$3:$A$1048576)
Should work

I have in a cell ("I8") the name of the sheet and I in another cell I want to get the value of a cell that is located in a different workbook but has the same name.
I've tried:
='[Results.xlsx]'&I8&'!$P$2
But I get an error. I've tried using " but I also get an error. I've done this already but I haven't got the excel file with me.
Use Indirect()
=INDIRECT("'[Results.xlsx]" & I8 & "'!$P$2")
