That's because you don't have numbers, you have text. Autosum can't add
text. It adds numbers.

First, change your entries to numbers. Second, use a custom format of
+General;-General;0 to display numbers with signs.

I have a column of numbers that i need to have a positive or negative
indicator to add up with the AutoSum function,

+3
-3.5
+10

...but can't get the autosum function on the row below to
calculate...i get an empty " =sum( ) " display; what is the correct
way to format these numbers so i can get the total of +9.5 with this
column
