Default Formula, not the result is displayed in calculated cells - why?

Michelle

You could be in Formula View.

Hit CTRL + `(backquote above Tab key) to toggle in/out of formula view.

Or.....my money's on this...........the cells were pre-formatted as text.

Format all to General then F2 and ENTER to re-enter the formula.

BTW.........don't need the SUM function for every occasion.

=L9+L10 will suffice.

=SUM(L9:L10)

Not the answer it should be.
