I'm working in Excel and my F2 button is not working. Not sure if I
accidently hit a button to turn this function off. But how can I correct?

F2 is your EDIT command key and pressing this key places the pointer inside
the currently active cell.

What exactly do you mean by not working.

Any other Fn keys not working?

Do you have an F-lock key you might have toggled?

When I hit F2 the pointer is not placed in the active cell. I have to
physically click my mouse in the cell to edit.

I pulled my laptop out of the docking station and the F2 button works. So it
appears its something with my keyboard. I do not see a toggle button for my
function keys. I have a Dell keyboard. I'm trying to find support on their
web site. All my other Function buttons appear to be working. But now my
dash button doesn't work.

Many keyboards have dual-use function keys. In one mode, you get the normal
action of the key. In the other mode, the F keys map to other functions. On
my keyboard (Microsoft 4000 Natural), F2 maps to Undo. You should have a key
(probably to the right of the F12 key) that toggles the function keys
between the two modes, and there may be an LED indicator light that
indicates when the F keys are in normal order. See if you have such a button
to the right of the F12 key. If you do, press it, and your function keys
should return to normal behavior.
