Issue with Google Sheet node

Hello,
I have a problem: when I use the “Google Sheet” module and enter a formula (which starts with “=”), close the module and save my workflow, the “=” sign disappears when I reopen the workflow and the module.
I have applied the “Let Google Sheet Format” cell format parameter, but it doesn’t work. I have to add the “=” at the beginning of the formula every time I reopen the module.
Can you please help me?

Before closing:

When I reopen:

Thanks,
Julien

Hi @julien1, I am sorry you are having trouble. Both n8n and Google Sheets use a leading = character to mark the following content as an expression/formula, leading to the problem you have seen.

This format should survive saving and reloading.

Hi @MutedJam , it worked, thank youu!!
