Default why does excel return a : when I put in a .

Why would you put a decimal point(period) in the formula?

Excel does not recognize that as a valid entry so assumes you mean A1:A22

Maybe you meant =SUM(A1,A22)

Excel 2003 automatically changes the formula to =SUM(A1:A22)

I would be grateful for feedback

Thanks
