Hi Frank, Please fix the Cells first.


Make sure all are formatted as Numbers and check that no value is preceded with 
a apostrophe ' .

Thank Martin, havn't tried it yet. I seem to take one step forward and two 
back. Last time I tried to build this spreadsheet Im could do a multiplication 
like A1*A2 then grab a symbols in the bottom right corner of the cell and drag 
it down to get B1*B2 etc. Now I can't get the symbol.

Sorry to be pain in the proverbial

Thanks Martin, moving on I am now having trouble summimg a column of numbers 
(each being the result of a multiplication). In the formula bar Iwant to  type 
sum(A1;A8) but ~I am trying to chick on the cells A1 etc which puts the cell in 
the formula but when I hit ; the whole formula is replaced with the colon.

Could it be that one ore both Cells is formatted as Text?

If you copy values from another source it could be copied as text which you 
could check in the formula bar, it shows then with a leading apostrophe e.g. 
‘123



Simple way to check is to enter =VALUE(B1)*VALUE(C1)
