Thank you. Simply formating the cell to a number did not work, deleting the
equal and re-adding it worked perfectly. Thanks!

Try going up in the formula bar and deleting the equal sign and hit

Possibly the cell was pre-formatted as TEXT.

when I type in a formula, by example =2+4 and hit enter, the cell displays
the text of =2+4 and does not resolve into a 6. How can I correct?
