I am entering a simple formula in a cell and instead of computing the formula and dislplaying the result, it just displays the formula in the cell.

Here is my formula....

<table x:str="" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 63pt;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="84"><col style="width: 63pt;" width="84"><tbody><tr style="height: 20.1pt;" height="26"> <td class="xl65" style="height: 20.1pt; width: 63pt;" height="26" width="84">=INQUIRY!B3</td> </tr></tbody></table>
Any ideas?

Select the formula cell.
Format the formula cell as General.
And hit F2.

Or run...

You could also do text to columns, under the data menu. Just follow it through and make it a general data.
