How do i stop functions?

[2Lipps]

i am using an excel sheet and there are numerals in a column. But they are
not to be added together at the bottom of the column. Unfortunately i'm
getting ##### in the place where I want to put a number. the number i put
there immediately turns into the symbols . I've tried everything but cannot
stop that addition function or what ever function it is. Please help!

Have you tried widening the column

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

Try widening the column.

Try a wider column or a smaller font.
