Default formula is displaying as text rather than result.

I'm using the "CountA" formula throught my spreadsheet, and it works fine in
all cells but one - in which the formula displays as text. I've reset Tools,
Auditing, copied formatting from cells that display correctly, and copied the
formula from cells that display the result. Nothing is working.

Try formatting the cell (right clickformat cells) as general, or as number,
then re-enter the formula.

I figured this out for myself. I used Format, Clear, retyped the function,
then reformatted. It worked.
