Hi,

is there a way in mathcad that could show what is behind the letters. EX.
a=1, b=2
formula is c:=a+b, c=3;

I would like to see what is behind a and b;
I would like to see that c=1+2

Thak you,
Tomislav

Just enter what you have stated.

a:=1 b:=2

c:=a+b c= and Mathcad will fill in the rest.

You can adjust the significant figures and add units as desired.

or

c:1+2 c= and Mathcad will fill in the rest.

It's described in the Help File under "Symbolic Display of Explicit Values Before Reduction" and the result looks like:

a:1 b:2

c:a+b explicit,a,b -> 1+2 = 3

Overall, it seems to be a bit silly, but it was a requested feature for many years.
