Default Why a plus sign after the equal sign?

What does the formula =+D9*E9 mean? It's the + sign that is messing me
up. What is it doing to this formula?

D9=640
E9=21.50

Thanks.

Believe it's a carry-over "legacy" of ex-Lotus users <g
The "+" is not necessary. Just use: =D9*E9

It's a throwback to Lotus. You don't need it.
