I would guess that your cells contain not numbers but text.
=J82+J81+J80+J79 will cope with that, but SUM() won't.

Change the text entries to numbers.

Hello Laura.

I've entered as =SUM(J79:J82) as well as =SUM(J82:J79) and still returns 0

Hello from Steved

=J82+J81+J80+J79 is ok

=SUM(J82:J79) returns 0 The Cells format is General, I changed it
to
number and it still does not work.
