Excel...simple formula not working

I have the Family Office 365 version, so not the Primary holder yet expect Excel to work.

I create a number in cell e51; ans 5  I create a number in f51; ans 10.  Both from either Find or Len functions which both gave the correct result.  I checked to ensure the results were both numbers with ISText function.  Then just put a simple formula in = f51 - e51 and got 0....Zero!!??? what the heck is going on???  When I put the formula =IF(E51=0,0,RIGHT(B51,(F51-E51)))  I got 0, even though e51 is 5 so what the heck is going on with Excel....unreliable now?
