Default how do Excel options need to be set to make formulas convert

I tried the CTRL ~ before, and it just widens the column to show the actual

columns over, makes no sense.


See, it shouldn't be formatted Text. Change that to whatever number
format you need. You may have to click in the cell and hit Enter again
after fixing the formatting to make it work.
