It sounds as if that column is formatted as text. Reformat it to General.

EXCEL 2003.
I am unable to enter numeric value to the cell for calculation.
When I enter 1234 it is automatically aligns to the left of the cell,
making
it a left-justified entry. It is a number that will not be used in
calculation.
How I can correct this problem and be able to enter to the cell
right-justified numbers whith numeric value?
