I am using open Office 2.3 on a PC under Windows XP. Recently I noticed problem with mathematical function in OO Calc. If I want to calculate a sum in a destination cell, I am just able to write in that cell =SUM(Ai:Aj) but not the result. Any clue of what is happening ?

Two possibilities:

o You are not entering the formula quite correctly. For example, if you put a leading space in your formula, so it reads " =SUM(Ai:Aj)" instead of "=SUM(Ai:Aj)", it will be seen by Calc as a text string rather than a formula.

o Go to Tools | Options... | OpenOffice.org Calc | View | Display. Is Formulas ticked? If so, this tells Calc to show the formula rather than the result, and is doing as it is asked. Remove the tick.

I trust this helps.
