    CONCATENATE not returning text

    =CONCATENATE(A28,";",A29,";",A30,";",A31)

    The above formula is intended to return product names that are composed of all numbers like this:

    1234;12564;2154;1635486521;564

    Any Idea why instead it just shows the formula instead?

    THANK YOU!

    Was the cell holding the formula pre-formatted as text?

    The auto calc was selected and the cell holding the formula was formatted as general number
