Your formula isn't returning numbers....
it's returning *letters* that look like numbers
=IF(B3=$B$2+1,"1",IF(B3=$B$2,"2",IF(B3=$B$2-1,"4",IF(B3=$B$2-2,"8","0"))))

Putting quotes around anything turns it into text.

Try this:
=IF(B3=$B$2+1,1,IF(B3=$B$2,2,IF(B3=$B$2-1,4,IF(B3=$B$2-2,8,0))))

Does that help?

I used multiple IF statements to return a number from 0 to 8. I now need to
sum the results of the returned numbers in a row. When I use =Sum(A7:J7) it
returns 0. How do I get a total on this Row?

Copy of statement
=IF(B3=$B$2+1,"1",IF(B3=$B$2,"2",IF(B3=$B$2-1,"4",IF(B3=$B$2-2,"8","0"))))
