what is the difference between this formula:

=+C31*$D$14

and this one:

=C31*$D$14

both formula give the same results. what is the purpose of the plus sign?
 
The plus sign serves no useful purpose whatsoever
It does tell us that maybe the originator of the workbook began life as a
Lotus 123 users where formulas began with +. And that they have not yet
found that Excel does not require them (old habits die hard - or not at all)
best wishes
