AutoSum
Hi Everyone!
In one particular worksheet, when I try to AutoSum a column of numbers, all I get is the formula, i.e. "=SUM(A1:A1000)". (If I highlight the column I can see the sum at the bottom right hand corner). Can anyone suggest what I might have done wrong??? Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Carmel |

AutoSum
Carmel, sounds like the cell is formatted as text, format to something else,
general or number... and try it again -- Paul B Always backup your data before trying something new Please post any response to the newsgroups so others can benefit from it Feedback on answers is always appreciated!

AutoSum
Hi Paul,
Thanks, but I already checked that and changed everything that was text to 'number'. I've randomly checked the formatting of 10 or so cells out of the thousand and they are indeed set to number. They are whole integers so I display them with no decimal places. Could that be the problem?

AutoSum
Newsflash!
As a result of your reply, I've just changed the format to General and that sorted the problem! (Why??) Thanks, Paul!

AutoSum
Carmel, changing to number format should work, but you have to reenter the
formula, or double click it, to get it to work -- Paul B Always backup your data before trying something new Please post any response to the newsgroups so others can benefit from it Feedback on answers is always appreciated!
