Default copying formulas-displaying results

That cell was probably pre-formatted as TEXT, unknown to you of course.
Re-format the cell as either general or number (via FormatCells ..), then
click inside the formula bar and press Enter, to re-register the formula.
Note that just re-formatting the cell will NOT activate the formula. You must
re-register it.
