creating a custom formula in excel

Greetings,

I want to evaluate a polynomial function in Excel. This function in two variables has been inserted into a cell where I want the answer.
=A8+(A9*F5)+(A10*G5)+(A11*F5^2)+(A12*G5^2)+(A13*F5*G5)

Now I have to declare this as a formula in order for it to work properly. How can I do this easily without going into Visual Basic?  Possible? I want this to be as simple as possible.

I have made a template, documented the optimization steps with the exception of how to input the formula.

 

I am getting an error message -objective cell contents must be a formula.

 

Thank you.  MM
