Your cell was formatted as text before entering the function.
Format as General and re-enter (F2, Enter)

Hello

There is a (not so probable) alternative that you have by accident selected
tools-options-view-formulas

More likely however is that ther is something in your input that makes excel
interpret your formula as text. That depends on that you have you have
unintended space-bars, special signs (like ' ", row breaks etc) in your
formula.
I suggest you use the insert-formula-option to avoid this problem

Kind regards Marcus
