functions do not calculate

Hi,
I input =CONCATENATE(E51,E52,E53) in cell E50 and it appears as text as
entered. Why will it not return a value? I have all cells formatted as text.

Try the following...

1) format the cell as 'General'

2) click in the 'Formula Bar' and press 'Enter' or re-enter the formula

Hope this helps!

By formatting the cell containing the formula as text you have made Excel
think the formula is just a bunch of characters. Try formating the cell
containing the formula as general.
