Default Formatting

I have a document with multiple calculations in it and for some reason today,
one of the tabs that has calculations is showing only the actual calculation
and not the result. The formatting is just not working. I even have a
column that is set up with a "date" format and formatting is not correct. It
is showing a bunch of numbers.

The other tabs with calculations in the same document are fine.

Any ideas????

Thanks.

It sounds like you may that sheet set to display only formulas....

Try this:

Hold down [Ctrl] and press the [~] key (in the upper left of the keyboard)

That will toggle Formula Display On/Off

Does that help?

Check the format of the data: it suggests they are TEXT rather than the
required format.

That worked wonderfully. Thanks you so much. I was getting a little
frustrated. :)
