Sounds like the cell is formatted as TEXT.

Format the cell as General. Then, with the cell still selected hit function
key F2 then hit ENTER

And if you see the formula in each cell, maybe you're looking at formulas:

Tools|Options|view tab|Uncheck formulas

ctrl-`
control-backquote (near the 1/! on my USA keyboard) is the shortcut key
