Answer: Auto sum gives answer 0 when there are cell values
It sounds like there might be a formatting issue with the cells you are trying to sum. Here are a few things you can try:
- Check the formatting of the cells: Make sure that the cells you are trying to sum are formatted as numbers. If they are formatted as text, Excel will not be able to sum them.
- Check for hidden characters: Sometimes there can be hidden characters in cells that prevent Excel from recognizing them as numbers. To check for hidden characters, select the cells you want to sum and press Ctrl + H to open the Find and Replace dialog box. In the "Find what" field, type a single space and leave the "Replace with" field blank. Click "Replace All" to remove any hidden spaces.
- Use the SUM function: If AutoSum is not working, you can try using the SUM function instead. To use the SUM function, select the cell where you want the sum to appear and type "=SUM(" followed by the range of cells you want to sum. For example, if you want to sum cells A1 through A5, you would type "=SUM(A1:A5)".
- Check for errors: Finally, make sure that there are no errors in the cells you are trying to sum. If there is an error in one of the cells, Excel will not be able to sum the range. To check for errors, select the cells you want to sum and look for any error messages in the formula bar at the top of the screen.
