Sum Wrong total but add each cell gives the correct total

=Sum(F23:J23) wrong Total = F23+G23+H23+I23+J23 correct total I find this interesting in that I know how to recify the issue but my brain is in slowdown. Please tell me what I need to do to use =Sum(F23:J23) I Thankyou. |

This should NOT happen. I can not think of any reason for this behaviour.
Can you give the values in the cells? and the totals?

SUM will just ignore text nums, while the "+" operator will coerce any text nums to real nums, hence giving the correct total. For OP: Please tell me what I need to do to use =Sum(F23:J23) Try adding a zero within the SUM range, array-enter the formula by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER: =Sum(F23:J23+0) The above will coerce text nums to real nums within the range -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:22,000 Files:370 Subscribers:66 xdemechanik --- |
