Addition of a column results in cross hatches. How do I get rid of the cross
hatches and simply have the sum printed in the column?

Widen the cell so the resulting value will fit. Excel does this so you don't
accidentally SEE a number that's LESS than the actual number, which is what
would occur if the column wasn't wide enough.

If you're just adding numbers, try widening the column. (or use a smaller font).
