Try removing the quotation marks from around your numbers.
Putting them in quotes makes XL see them as Text, not numbers. Then use =SUM(B8:B1000) to total them.

Hard to tell what it is you're trying to do with this but to get your SUM
formula to work change your IF formula by removing the quotes from around any of the numbers. When you quote numbers Excel evaluates them as TEXT and in most cases, these can't be summed or added without some "trickeration". -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "abusymomforever" wrote in message ...

Hi,
If for any reason you don't want to remove "" around number then you can change your formula to =--IF(A8=1234,"268.80",IF(A8=2345,"335.80",IF(A8="N/A","0.00",IF(A8=9876,"230.00",IF(A8=1010,"245.00", "0.00"))))) Personally, I think you should be using VLOOKUP for the calculation, with or without "". Quotes makes number text and text doesn't add up. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "abusymomforever" wrote: I have tried every fx, combination of functions, formulas, etc and nothing seems to work.
