Default Formula won't show sum

I found a general cell, put a one in it, copied it to the cell in question
that kept showing the formula...and now I have a total, but it's wrong.
Instead of 17.00 it's 0.00. I also don't know what you mean by Paste Sepcial
using the Multiply operation...so I couldn't do that. Can you be more
specific?

Hi Dave...this worked for a couple of other formulas, but not for the ones in
question. I'm running Excel 2007. I'm stumped. Can you help?

Hi,
In earlier versions, Tools menu, Options.
On the View tab, deselect Formulas.
Not sure how this differs for 2007

Reformatting from Text to Number doesn't fix the problem of the cells
being treated as Text. Enter a 1 into a free cell that is definitely
General format then copy it then select E27:E42 and Paste Special
using the Multiply operation. The Sum should then be OK if that was
the problem.
