Default Cannot total the results of an "IF" formula

Perhaps the numbers in column C are text?

Format all to General or Number then copy an empty cell.

Select column C and Paste SpecialAddOK?Esc

I am working on a financial spreadsheet and use the "IF" formula to place
information in a result column. =IF(F2="restaurant",C2,0)
This formula puts the value into the restaurant column but when I ask for
"autosum" for the resultant column it will not calculate. Any suggestions?
