When I insert a formula into a cell, it disappears

[paul]

heres what is happening:

the formula is correct, but when i paste it, the value computes to 0,
which is not the correct value. However, if i paste it then press F9,
the correct calculation appears but the formula disappears, leaving
only the computed value.

I need the formula to stay and compute the correct value. Any help
would be GREATLY appreciated right now.

Thanks

Maybe it is an array formula, so try committing it with Ctrl-Shift-Enter
rather than just Enter.
