Scudo, is this the only formula on the sheet? or are all the formulas this
way, try Ctrl+`, next to the number 1 key and see if that changes it back,
or maybe the cell may have somehow chaged to text, select the cell and see,
if it is change the formatting back to general, or a number, select the cell
press F2 then enter and see if that will fix it
