Default Formulas showing on worksheet

Pls help!

My formulas are showing on my worksheet and not showing the result

It is not the audit function (Cntrl+`).

For example:
A1 2
A2 2
A3 =A1+A2

A3 shows =A1+A2 and not 4

Thoughts?

go to 'tools'....'options'....'view tab' and make sure formulas does not have
a check mark in the box beside it.

It gets more bizarre. Some of the cells in the spreadsheet will take a
formula, some won't. The 'Formulas' box does not have a check mark.

Thoughts?

Some of your cells were text before you entered the formula. Format them all as General AND re-enter the formulas. This can easily
be done by Finding and replacing all "=" by "=".

See if the cell is formatted as text, if so change it to either general or
number
