I think the OP wanted the product, not the sum.
=PRODUCT(A1:A2) or =A1*A2 will give the product.

Hi Ronald,

Place the cursor in B1 cell and press Alt+E+A+F and copy and the paste
or type the below formula B1 cell

=Sum(A1:A2)

Or
=A1+A2

The above formula will evaluate the result as 5.

Hope that helps!

I'm trying to create a formula that will allow changing the
function used.

For example:

A B
1 2 Product
2 3
3
4 =B1(A1:A2)

=B1(A1:A2) should evaluate to 6.

How can I get B1 to not be evaluated as text ?
