In a newly created workbook, all cells are formatted as in the Normal style.
If you have created a default template Book.xltx, the style from that template will be used.
Otherwise, Normal will be as follows:
Note: the font depends on the setting in File > Options > General.
=A1+A2
When you enter the formula like this, do you get an error message?
If yes, which; A photo or file (without sensitive data) would be an advantage.
