Default Formula not coming through

Hi,
I did a basic VLOOKUP but I can't get it to pull in the data until I double
click on the formula in the cell. Like it has to reset or something. Does
anyone know what is causing this and how to fix it? Thanks.

Check and make sure calculation is set to automatic.

ToolsOptionsCalculation tabAutomatic

Maybe calculation is set to manual in ToolsOptionsCalculation?
