Explanation
All Excel formulas must begin with the equals sign (=). This is because the equals sign is used to indicate that the following characters are part of a formula and not just regular text. By starting a formula with the equals sign, Excel knows that it needs to evaluate the expression and perform the necessary calculations. Without the equals sign, Excel will treat the characters as regular text and not as a formula.
