Hi,

I was checking one of the formula that appears as example:
{=SUM(IF($A1:$A20=8,1,0))}

This is done by someone and the value return to 20 since all the cell have
a
9 on it. But if I edit this cell, the { } will go away. and will give me
the
#VALUE! message in the cell. can anyone tell me how I can add this?
