Formulas and functions

[Laurie2124]

Help!!! I am starting to think I have lost my mind.  I am trying to do the basic Sum 

10*90 and instead of a total the value in the cell shows          =Sum(10*90)

I think I have tried it all and my boss is getting frustrated even though the lap top is new to me and possibly hit a wrong function key.  Cleared cell contents and tried again and nothing.  

Urgent contract that needs to asap

@Laurie2124 I suspect that you accidentally pressed the "Show Formulas" button the Formulas tab.

Press it again and all should be OK. 

By the way, no need to use SUM. Just use =10*9

I took a break and came back to it and couldn't believe I hadn't thought of that. I think the pressure of someone standing over your shoulder makes a big difference. Thank you for your response.
