Default switching between formula display and value

The formula written as =IF('Boiler 3'!$M$15<"",'Boiler 3'!$M$15,"") does not
display the result in the cell even after switching the sheet between formula
and value (ctrl `). This same formula works in other areas of the same
worksheet.

The cell is probably text
Try selecting the cell
Format|Cell|Number and select general
Tap F2 and then enter

Perhaps the cell is formatted as text. Change the format to General, and
F2-Enter and see if that cures it.

Thanks Mike it worked, but I don't understand what F2 does.

F2 simply put you into edit cell mode
