This is a second reply. After I wrote you earlier, I tried re-importing the .csv file. This time, I clicked on the "Standard" heading on top of the column in question, hoping there would be a format for "Currency." There was none, but after I clicked "Hidden" then clicked back to "Standard," the file imported with the currencies properly recognized and aligned to the right. Now the =SUM(c2:c46) function works just fine. I am sorry for wasting so many people's time, but I could not figure this out by myself. I am very grateful to everyone involved for their suggestions. One final question: Shouldn't the Import function recognize currencies automatically rather than making the user jump through these hoops?
