Is calculation on Automatic under ToolsOptionsCalculation?

OR are the new values entered being treated as text values?

Format all as General then in an adjacent column enter =ISNUMBER(cellref)

If real numbers, TRUE will be returned.

If not numbers, copy a blank cell and select the numbers and Paste

I have put in formula to total a column of figures, it has empty cells for

months. I made changes to existing sheets as I needed to by using CTRL key
and clicked on each future month. this may be why it will not total as new
figures are added.
