Default formula remains as text rather than formula

the formula remains as text in the field

ie ='filetracker'!C26

This only happens occasionally - anyone know why?

If the cell is formatted as text, this will happen. Change to genera
and reenter the formula and it should work.

If the formula references a cell that is formatted as text this can also
