Why do I see the formula text and not the result of the formula?
In OOo Calc all formulas must start with the equal sign (=).*
If your formula does start with an = character, then
check that the options are set to not view the formula. Go to Tools
> Options; then, in Spreadsheet > View verify that
there is no "tick mark" in the box beside the Formulas
selection.
*This is a difference between Calc and MS-Excel(R).
