Default #VALUE! error

Apart from changing your formula to a shorter version, not much wrong here?

Try =SUM(E56:H56)+I55.

If that doesn't help, (and I don't think it will), click the cell with the
error message.
A small square with an exclamation mark will appear. Click that and select
Trace error. See what comes up?

Most likely a cell with a number in it, but either formatted as text, of
with an apostrophy in front?

I have a simple spreadsheet where I have copied down the formula.

For example =SUM(E56+F56+G56+H56+I55)

then =SUM(E57+F57+G57+H57+I56)

but from the next line onwards I get the #VALUE! error message?! The values
are all numbers.

Any help would be great.
