It works fine - given the assumptions. It was copied from the formula bar -
the cell was displaying the correct sum. If it shows just the sum of the
numbers not preceded by letters, then you have not entered it with with
Ctrl+Shift+Enter as instructed.

However, you say it is displaying nothing - hard for a working function to
do that - is the cell displaying the formula. Do you have a space in front
of the Equal sign?
