    why it shows the formula insted of the result

    Good morning everybody,

    My question it's very simple.
    It happens a lot to me, when I write a formula, instead of show me the results, it shows me the formula.
    How can be this corrected? I tried format cells, but it doesn't help.
    Thanks a lot for your attention and help

    You would need to reformat the cell(s) as General and then re-enter the formula. Just select the cell, change the format, then press F2 (Edit) and press Enter (commit)
