Adds ok but try to sum() returns 0
 
Hello from Steved

=J82+J81+J80+J79 is ok

=SUM(J82:J79) returns 0 The Cells format is General, I changed it to
number and it still does not work.

Thanks for looking at my issue.

I reckon it's text SteveD. Try this, it should verify this

=SUM(--J79:J82)

as an array formula, so commit with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not just Enter

Hello Bob from Steved

I did do a =SUM(--J79:J82) but did not use as a array Formula.

I thankyou.

I would guess that your cells contain not numbers but text.
=J82+J81+J80+J79 will cope with that, but SUM() won't.

Change the text entries to numbers.
