Default Autosum doesn't recognize cell values after I cut and paste values

Did you try this one?

Format all to General.

Copy an empty cell.

Select the range of "numbers" and EditPaste SpecialAddOKEsc.

If no joy could be you have some HTML non-breaking spaces.

Select all cells and EditReplace

What: Alt + 0160 (using numpad)

With: nothing

Replace All

I've tried every solution listed here and still the sum = 0. Is this a
lost cause?
