Sum function not working correctly in Excel (Skips Cell)
 

I have one cell that is not included in a sum function. This repeats in
several worksheets. e.g. =SUM(C6:C11) Cell C7 is not added in the list.
If I type in the formula =C6+C7+C8+C9+C10+C11 it will give the correct result.

Thanks in Advance

Hi Tony,

C7 has a number formatted as TEXT, change it. Then the Sum function will
work.

Thanks, that did it. Just a note... I did have to retype the value in the
cell for it to recognize it.

That is correct and Don and Paul could have mentioned that.

Just changing the format will not change the text to number.

Re-enter as you did or if you have a great whack of these you can copy an
empty cell formatted as General or Number then select your great whack and
Paste SpecialAddOKEsc.

This forces them into numbers.
