(In reply to comment #10)

Note that there is a difference between a text cell with value "5" and a
numeric cell with value 5.0.  In the excel UI, the user can choose either text
or numeric format when entering cell values. Text values can be forced by
prepending a single quote (') to the entered text.  For example '5 will create
a text value "5".


The sample code I added in  comment #1 uses numeric cells:
cell.setCellValue(5.0);
... which Excel/SUM() handles 'normally'.

Your sample code (from attachment id=22415) uses text cells: 
cell.setCellValue(new HSSFRichTextString("5"));
... which Excel/SUM() ignores. 



I am still sure that POI is consistent with Excel's behaviour
