You are creating an issue where a problem does not exist. Using your
example Cells D1:D12 formatted as numbers with zero decimal places means
that only integer values are entered in those cells. Fill cells D1:D10
with the integer value 1234 and in cell D12 enter =SUM(D1:D10) which
returns the result 12,340
