the difference should be visible to you as you click on the cells themselves and look at the formula bar to see what is REALLY in those cells. If there REALLY is a dash - in that cell, then it will be a text string. But you can use "formatting tricks" to make a dash "appear" in the cell when it's not really there as shown in the formula bar.
