Thank you Dave! My problem was I had it marked text. You made it so simple!

Make sure that the cell that gets that formula is formated as General (or
anything but Text).

Then re-enter the formula.

You may want:
=if('sf-14'!ag13="","",'sf-14'!ag13)

Then if AG13 on sf-14 is empty, you won't see a 0.
