Default Inserting Text Makes Numbers Disappear!

I have a series of data in columns and rows. The row titles are in a colum
that runs from I3 through I15. I have row titles in all rows except I7.
When I put a row title in I7, the data in column L and in the data source
column E are replaced with the VALUE notation. When I delete the text in I7,
the numbers return.

Any thoughts?

Thank you

It appears that I7 which is blank is being used in formulas in columns E and
L and the blank is probably being treated as a 0 (zero) which is acceptable
to the formulas. But when you enter text ins I7, the text is not acceptable
to the formulas and they return a #Value! error.

Hi Al,

This suggests that the data in column L and in the data source column E are
formulas. Move to one of the cells that displays the VALUE error message and
note the formula on the Formula Bar. Tell us what the formulas are and we
can probably help. Most likely the function is using the entry in I7 to
make a calculation but it doesn't like what you entered.

Thank you for responding. I checked the formula box and there is no formula
listed. I checked other titles in column I and there are no formula
associated with any of the titles in column I.

Any additional thoughts?

Found it! Somehow I included I8 while summing a range of data in column E!
Once I deleted I8 from the summation, it accepted the text.

Thanks for responding.
