Tony: I've seen those green markers before, but in this case (I'll
repeat my print-screen here) for some reason there is no green marker
on these cells. Yet my =SUM still isn't working.
Here's my sum below:
If I type a "2" over one of those 1s, the sum shows 2:

Karen,
You can do it this way:
Select all figures you like to convert (the green marker up left is
showing that the number is stored as text)
Select the exclamation mark and then a right mouse click
You should see the menu as below (sorry in Dutch)
The second option is convert to number.
Hope this helps.

Karen,
Highlight the cell you want to convert to numbers. To the left of the
top most cell there will be an excel symbol which one can select to
change the formatting of the highlighted cell.

Steve: can you do a print-screen of that? I've highlighted the
numbers and cannot find the option box that you're talking about
(perhaps we're on different versions). Since the list allows pics
now, post the print-screen to the list in case someone else can use
this very helpful tip!

Karen,
You have to convert the column numbers displayed (which are in text
format) to numbers. Formatting the cells using the format option
does not work.
Highlight the range of column cells (not the header) and to the
left of the top cell in the option box, (looks like a small diamond
with an ! point), choose convert to number and it will work. I have
monthly reports where I have to do the same thing.
One thing to note, if your spreadsheet is more than one page and the
columns shift, particularly on a subsequent page, tinker with the
report object placement for the range of cells that moved. I also
usually have blank rows of cells from the page break that have to be
trimmed off using ‘delete row cells’ in Excel. Then the columns are
contiguous and then I convert (or the staff does) the range of cells
within a column to a number so they can use the =sum formula as needed.

Haven't played around with this in a while, but someone requested
instructions.
If I have a report to the screen and do a "print to file" picking
Excel (either 2003 or xlsx), it formats pretty well. If I bring up
Excel and want to insert a sum by using the =SUM(....) it shows up
as 0. If I do each individually as a cell (such as: +A1+A2+A3)
then it adds up the numbers, but not when I do a =SUM. Obviously
using the + isn't good if I want to add up hundreds of lines. Is
this an Excel issue? I tried a couple things:
1. I left my =SUM in the spreadsheet. If I type over any of the
numbers, my sum works (but only on the numbers that I typed over)
2. If I highlight some of the column of numbers and "format cells"
and change it, it doesn't work. For example, I had a column of
integers and did a "format cells" to change it to a number with 2
decimals, and it leaves the column untouched.
Other individual calculations work (such as +B1/A1) just not the
=SUM.
Anyone getting that to work?
Karen
