When I enter a formula it shows the formula not the result

T

Sounds like the cell is formatted as TEXT.

Format the cell as General. Then, with the cell still selected hit function
key F2 then hit ENTER
 
D

And if you see the formula in each cell, maybe you're looking at formulas:

Tools|Options|view tab|Uncheck formulas

ctrl-`
control-backquote (near the 1/! on my USA keyboard) is the shortcut key
