If the formula in the cell appears like the formula in the formula bar then
there are two possible explanations:

1. you are in equation view. Touch CNTRL-~ to correct this.

2. the cells were formatted as text before the formulae were entered. To

formula bar and touch enter


Thank you for your help! I got things up and running. :)
