OK so I had an Excel Spreadsheet. I had a column that needed to be added up and the total displayed with the Formula SUM function. I created the formula, and although I had a number there, when I changed the numbers that the sum was composed of, the result never changed.
I tried a whole pile of things. I tried deleting the formula and recreating it. I tried copying the column. I tried copying the sum formula from other cells. It was a real head-scratcher and hail-puller-outer.
So how did I solve it? I selected the column, and then the cell properties and I assigned a Number Format to the cells. Worked like a charm. The SUM formula now worked. It only took me a few weeks to figure this one out. Damn Microsoft.
