Hi Toni,

Hello,

I use this formula in calc on a large forecast spreadsheet

=sum(e4+d5)-(b5+c5)

There has to be some cells with text but the text is not being ignored

That is right. The operators + - * / calculate only with true numbers.


When it gets to a row with text in a cell it shows   #VALUE!

I have searched and =sum is supposed to fix this ??

Yes it does. Text is treated as 0 for function SUM and as 1 for function PRODUCT.


Can you help.

In your special case you can use
=SUM(E4;D5)-SUM(B5:C5)

Kind regards
Regina
