    VLOOKUP Issue - formula correct in function box but not in spreadsheet

    I'm attempting to do a vlookup and when I type into the formula bar I get the correct result, but in my spreadsheet the formula is printed. Any help?

    Dept Dept Name
    111 =VLOOKUP(G2,DEPTNAME,2,FALSE)
    652 =VLOOKUP(G3,DEPTNAME,2,FALSE)
    103 =VLOOKUP(G4,DEPTNAME,2,FALSE)
    605 =VLOOKUP(G5,DEPTNAME,2,FALSE)

    HI jlowes,

    Welcome to the forum.

    Press the key combination (CTRL + `) and check if this works. thanks.
    If this does'nt work, check if you have formatted the cell as TEXT and if so, change them to general and press F2 and press Enter.

    Regards,
