Changing the format to number didn't make any difference.

Actually, I did a test that proved that the sum cell has to be at the end of
the row, or in this case, at the end of the column. Adding values in one
column in a cell in a column next to the last value (forming an L shape)
doesn't work. Same formula works by inserting a row, and putting it in the
cell below that last value (forming an I shape).
