No, the formula does not produce 32 characters; it is weird looking.
Here is my excel file; take a look at it.

I put the text word "test" as my text input, and I should get
"098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6"

Thanks again for looking into this,
Jason

Do your results have 32 characters and do those characters consist of the 10
digits 0-9 and letters of the alphabet from a through f? If so, then it is
probably doing it right. The 32 character count is not an absolute, but
results usually contain that number of characters.
Wikipedia has a pretty good writeup about MD5.
