How do i configure excel to display the results of the sum of a set of
numbers instead of displaying the formula?

Ex. I want to add the numbers of several different cells so I compose the
equation "=R22+R34+R35+R37" in a results cell. However the results cell
doesn't display the sum of these fields. instead it displays
"=R22+R34+R35+R37".
