Hi
The cell is formatted as text, clear the cell and reformat as general, now your
formula will work.

I've entered a simple "=sum" formula into a cell on a worksheet and for some
reason, the formula is being displayed in the cell instead of the value.
I've used this formula countless times before and have never had this happen.
I've checked everything I know to check and I'm just at a loss. Anyone have
any advice?

Thanks,
Christi
