Eeven shorter:

=IF(G325,25,G3)

Again shorter:

=MIN(G3,25)

And the formula could of course be simpler
=IF(G3=25,25,G3)

I assume you want this in the formula

=IF(G3=25,25,IF(G3<25,G3))
anything larger than 25 is 25

or it could be
=IF(G3<=25,25,IF(G325,G3))
anything smaller than 25 is 25

in any case do not use "25" it is treated as text in the summing
excercise

I used an IF function to generate the cells in one column. E.g.,
IF(g3<=25,"25,IF(g3<25,g3)). Now I want to use the results of that
column in
summing something else and the sum function basically doesn't 'see' the
cell
at all. The results are as if there were no numbers there at all. What
gives?
