It may be really the problem. First of all, OOo Calc has wonderful feature
(which is not available in Excel, BTW) to distinguish between formula
results, values, and strings -- select View/Value Highlighting and you will
see strings in black, values in blue, and results of formulas in green.
What color does you column B has?

If it is blue, than everything should work. However, I do not understand
what you want to add to what. To sum up all numbers in B column?

If it is black, then make column C, where you put into the first column
formula =VALUE(B1). Then select all area of column C as long as there are
numbers in the column B (the cell with the formula should be on the top)
and run Edit/Fill/Down (shortcut key is Ctrl-D). It should fill whole
selected area with the formula from the top. Result should be that whole C
area should be filled with the same numbers as in column B, but they would
be blue (i.e., OOCalc would consider them numbers and not strings).

Best,

Matej
