Formula displays instead of text result

E

Hi, I'm trying to change my formula
[=IF(AB2>91%,"A",IF(AB2>81%,"B",IF(AB2>71%,"C",IF(AB2>55%,"D",IF(AB2<55%,"F")))))],
which works fine, but whenever I make any change or create the formula in
another cell, only the formula appears, not the result. The result should be
text, either "A," "B," "C," "D," or "F." I wanted to use 91.9%, 81.9%, etc.
in revising my formula. I am using Excel 2007.

Change the formatting of the cell from text to general. Select the cell, hit
F2 to enter edit mode and the hit enter to commit the formula...
