Default why does Excel change formula to text ?

Hi,

Hoping someone can help :-)

I've been having problems with Excel deciding that formulas should be text.
Everything goes well at first cells involved in the formula highlight in
different colours but as soon as I click the green tick it changes to text.
HELP!

I don't know if Excel is trying to second guess me as I have been cut and
pasting formulas from other workbooks with an apostrophe in front so that it
copies with no changes and then I edit the apostrophe away and the formula
works.

I have also recently changed the tick boxes in the transition tab in tools
options (can't remember which is ticked - sending this from home comp - probs
are with work comp)

TIA for any help you can offer
Many thanks

Thank you
Annie
