What do you see in the formula bar? If it is a zero then most probably th
cell has been formatted as currency with no currency symbol or decimal
places. If you only see a dash then check Autocorrect in Tools
Autocorrect to see if it is being changed there. If that is the reason then
look around the office to see who is smiling.

This is not the problem. Even if I enter a 0 in a formula it automatically
changes to a -. I have spent a great deal of time trying to figure out
why.
It does not appear to be related to formatting.
