Default Formula problem

I am trying to do a simple formula and it won't work.

I have about 2500 rows with a column that has the persons age. I am trying
to do a "countif" the age is < = 2, greater than 2, greater than 6, etc. The
formula has worked every time with every sheet that I open except for one.
The formula is correct it is just giving me 0's and I know that is not
correct.

What is going on?

Check to make sure the numbers on that sheet are formatted as numbers, and
not text.

Something else you might try:

Enter a 1 into any blank cell
Copy that 1
Select your range of numbers
Paste Special and select the "Multiply" option
Click OK
Delete the 1 that you entered originally

Does that fix it?
