Default Formula Saves In Cell But Does Not Compute

For some reason in parts of my spreadsheet when I type a formula in a cell
and save it, the formula text will save and show in the cell, but the actual
formula calculations will not work.

Help.

Hi!

Those cells have been formatted as TEXT.

One way to fix:

Select the cells in question
Goto EditReplace
Find what: =
Replace with: =
Replace All
