THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THIS FORMULA
Hi, I'm trying to write this formula +1/17.5, when the cell is in "general" format, there's no problem, but when the format is "number" an error pops saying "There is a problem with this formula"...

Yes, as everyone mentioned here, best to start formula with =. Most reliable.
However, from time to time I prefer to use Numpad only, thus formulae start with +. Especially if we use Excel as calculator. No problems on Excel for Web. On Excel desktop, as mentioned,
In general that's 30-years old question, lot of answers could be found.
