Default CONCATENATE not working

I have
F2 G2 H2
Zip Plus4 ZipPlus4
84116 3153 =CONCATENATE(F2,"-",G2)


F2 and G2 are "Formated" to be text.

Why is the H2 value =CONCATENATE(F2,"-",G2) and not 84116-3153?

Thank you..

Hi Bruce

Do a find and replace.

Find =
Replace with =

that will sort it.

This worked, namely Find = and replace with =.
Why?

I reFormated H2 to be "General" and it now works.
Why?

Thank you....
