Default formula returns formula

Sometimes when I enter a formula in a cell, even using
the formula wizard, the cell returns the formula instead
of the results. (The right results will show in the
formula wizard so I know it is right.) What am I doing
wrong? Is it a format problem?

Mi Mark,

Use the INDIRECT function to display the results of the formula. Chip
Pearson has some good info on this:
