Re-format at least column X to General then re-enter the formula in X3.

Hi, new to excel and struggling with references. Column B is a list of names.
I want these names to also appear in column X (ie. B3 name should appear in
X3). I put the cursor in X3, type = in the funtion area, then click B3 and
hit enter. =B3 then appears in cell X3 which seems to be the correct formula,
but I want the name to appear. Both columns are set as text. Thanks, Tim.
