Hi Crispycritter,

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your Excel calculations. It's possible that there may be a formatting issue causing the incorrect product to be displayed. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check the formatting of the cells being multiplied: Make sure that both cells are formatted as numbers, and not as text or currency. To check the formatting, select the cells and go to the "Number" tab in the ribbon. Select "Number" from the list of options.
   
2. Check for hidden characters: Sometimes, there may be hidden characters in the cells that are causing the calculation to be incorrect. To check for hidden characters, select the cell and press "Ctrl + H" to open the "Find and Replace" dialog box. In the "Find what" field, type a space character and leave the "Replace with" field blank. Click "Replace All" to remove any spaces in the cell.
   
3. Check for errors in the formula: Make sure that the formula you're using is correct. Check for any typos or missing parentheses. You can also try re-entering the formula to see if that resolves the issue.
   
4. Try using a different formula: If none of the above steps work, you can try using a different formula to calculate the product of the two cells. For example, you can try using the "PRODUCT" function, which multiplies a range of cells together. To use this function, enter "=PRODUCT(B29,D29)" in the third cell.

I hope these steps help you resolve the issue with your Excel calculations. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.
