Excel 03
OK, I'm trying to sum numbers a column. This is exact representation, cells
F19 to F22:

$11,087
$3,400
$2,400
$1,211

I sum into F23 and get the result of only F19 *$11,087.* F23 cell formula
shows as
=SUM(F19:F22)

This is a sheet I downloaded. I added a row (F21) to insert the $2400.
When first sum action didn't work, I thought maybe it was based on cell
format, so I reformatted to label them currency (this shows in cell
properties), so it's not an issue of cell format standardization.

Also, I copied the numbers from F column to a new one and pasted as *Special
-- values only* and STILL get only the result of the top #, $11,087.

WTF??? and What can I do????

Try clicking on the cell containing "$2,400". Press F2. Then press Enter.
Sounds stupid, but I've seen it happen. Anything change?

Good Luck.

Maybe its downloaded as text. Is there an apostrophe before each figure?
Suggest re-enter as numbers

no apostrophes. I had pretty much already checked the format to try both
*currency* and *number* and cell properties show this *took* -- but I still
can't get a sum. :-(

Also, I'm only referrign to a small part of this doc . . . there are way
more sets of this to do, so I'm trying to avoid having to manually enter/copy
the numbers.

90% sure that the contents in those cells are not numbers, but text.
Why not attach/post you file and let us have a look?

Red, try clicking on cell F20, press F2, backspace once, and hit enter.
