Darren --

This list does not allow attachments so your screenshot did not come
through.

Please make use of the Support Forums -- https://forum.openoffice.org/

where you can provide an attachment of the sheet you're using that is
returning the incorrect result. Typically a screenshot is not helpful for
solving problems of this nature.

For the great majority of us, the SUM function works correctly.
