Default adding cells that contain a formula

this should be an easy one: i am trying to get the sum of numbers in a
column. SOME of the cells in that column contain a formula. i want the sum of
the cells, but it seems that when it is totalling the columns it is omiting
the cells that contain formulas. help..........thanks!

How about posting examples of the formulas you're using to do the summing,
AND the formulas existing in the cells you're trying to total.

Your formulas may be returning text numbers that are not recognized by the
Sum() function (if that's what you're using).

Default adding cells that contain a formula

I just figured it out. the formula in the cells to be summed presented the
result as $150.00
Within the formula i had: "$150.00"
I removed the quotes & the $ sign.
Now I'm able to sum the cells that contain the reults of the formulas.
