I don't see what you are seeing and am not sure why you don't describe what happens when you to tap fx.
But if you're convinced there is a bug, rather than "wait for an update" you might consider reporting the bug at:
Feedback - Numbers for iOS and iPadOS - Apple
That way the Apple engineers are more likely to see the issue. This is a user-to-user forum.

Have you noticed after you tap the fx that the menu gives functions that go into your formula. Perhaps you can make good use of that interface rather than trying to type out whole formulas in the formula bar.

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.
What do you mean by fx bar?
On my iPad tapping the fx icon calls up a menu explicitly designed for entering formulas.

The Formular-bar disappaers behind the bar at the bottom of a spreadsheet. See the picture below.

I think it is a bug in Numbers iPadOS 26. So I will wait for an update! Thanks for your info, SGIII...!!
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
