I deleted the Numbers app, force-quit the iPad Pro (iPadOS 26.1) and restarted it. Then I reinstalled the app.

I opened Numbers and the formula bar reappeared: see image 1. I closed Numbers, restarted it, and the formula bar disappeared again: see image 2. The formula bar does appear, but immediately disappears behind the "Fx" bar.

I have exactly the same problem. I’ve tried to find various workarounds to no avail so far. This is a big problem for doing financial work, since I can’t tell what’s in the formula or edit it in any way. If I try to delete the formula and reenter it, that doesn’t work either. The formula window does seem to work briefly when I restart Numbers, but the problem recurs after a few edits
