This result would occur if you had text in the cells rather than numbers.
Text is typically left-justified, rather than right-justified. Is that what
you see?

Another way of checking is to use =istext(g3). If that returns true, you've
found your problem.

Hi,

I'm having problems with Excel 2007

When I total up a number of cells, the value that is shown is 0. For
instance, totalling G3+j3+N3, I get 0. The referenced cells have values
greater than zero

Note: There is a notification of circular reference in one of the cells.
However, I never encountered such a problem with previous versions of
excel
(zero value)
