Never heard of NetIQuette, is that a new programming language? is it in the English Dictionary so I might find out its meaning. Or is it a word in a foreign language?

Darren, I've just tried the very thing and it worked. Maybe you simply mistyped your query. If it's what you wrote it's text, not a number. If it's a formatted figure, with a currency symbol, type the number in the query, without the currency symbol. And, by the way, you may want to remember the NetIQuette! ;) Max Am 27.01.2015 um 23:08 schrieb Darren Myers: So I have a spreadsheet... I have a cell in the spreadsheet...

Darren, I've just tried the very thing and it worked. Maybe you simply mistyped your query. What you wrote is either text, not a number, as it contains a non-numerical symbol, or a formatted figure. If it's a formatted figure, formatted as currency, type the number in the query, without the pound symbol, i.e. -83.04.
