Default SOLVED!: Function displays as text, doesn't return result or erro

Apparently, the cell I was referencing for the lookup value was formatted as
"text," so Excel "helpfully" auto-formatted the cells containing the
referencing functions as "text." Voila! typed formula instead of a result.

I went back and made sure that all reference cells were formatted GENERAL.
Life is good again...

You might have calculation mode set to manual - go to Tools | Options |
Calculation (tab) and ensure that Automatic is checked.

Hope this helps.
