Cell Displays Equation Instead of Solution in Array

I downloaded an Excel Template for Invoice Tracking. On a sheet titled Invoice, which was originally a protected, I unprotected the sheet to modify some cells and make the file more usable. On a cell that I didn't even change any text on, the array brackets {} disappeared and the solution is no longer displayed, but instead the function that was written is displayed. I tried the CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER method to "activate" the array, but the function is still displayed. The odd thing, this only affects a certain column. Column C has the only affected cells. Cells B9:F33 have similar functions in them, but only Column C, has cells that display the function instead of the solution.

Thoughts?

Excel Formula:
=IFERROR(INDEX(InvoiceDetails,SMALL(IF(InvoiceDetails[Invoice '#]=rngInvoice,ROW(InvoiceDetails)-ROW(InvoiceDetails[#Headers])), ROW(20:20)), MATCH($C$8, InvoiceDetails[#Headers], 0)),"")

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
check the cell format has not changed to "Text"

Check that there are no spaces (or any other character) before the = sign.

In that case, without seeing the workbook, I'm not sure.

There is an option in the view settings to display formula instead of results, but to my knowledge it doesn't apply to individual cells.

Is there a circular reference?

I don't think there is a circular reference, the cell works fine if I leave it alone and don't attempt to modify it. But just clicking in the function box is enough to undo the original function.

When you open a new Excel file and search invoice in the Online Templates search box, the template "Sales Invoice Tracker" is available. That's what I am using.
