My guess is that the cell is formatted as text. Go to Format, Cells, Number.
Under Category click General and then click OK. Then retype =A2. Hopefully
this will fix it.

Dear all,

When I enter "=A2" for example into a sheet it stayes as =A2 instead of
bringing the data.

Can anyone explain this please?
