Either you have View Formulas checked in ToolsOptionsView or
the cells are pre-formatted as text.

Hit CRTL + `(above TAB key) to toggle Formula View on/off, if that is the
case.

If text cells, select the cells and Format as General then re-enter by
selecting a cell and hitting F2 then <ENTER.

For a bunch of formulas a quick way to re-enter them is to select the cells
then EditReplace

what: =
with: =

Replace all.
