Hi Dave,

I think this could be the answer, it appears portions of the spreadsheet
have been formatted to text.

Many thanks

The only time I know of that it will do this is if you have a cell that
is=20
formatted as text, and after that you type a formula into it.  That new=20
entry will be treated as text, no matter what it is.
