Hi guys

My “sum” etc calc functions are’nt working. If you want to , for example ,
add the values of say column A1 to A5 , it just says “=A1:A5” , but does’nt
do the culculation ?

Kind regards

You said that your ”sum” function doesn't work, but how do you know? As far
as I can see, you don't use it…

This is how to use the SUM function for A1:A5:
=SUM(A1:A5)

If it now displays the formula rather than the result, check ”Tools →
Options” for  something like ”show formulas” and uncheck it.

Correct, typing "=a1:a5" is NOT the same as "=SUM(a1:a5)".

If this doesn't help, then the next question is whether other formulas display the formula or the value? If they also display the formula, then go to this menu path:

Tools > Options > Calc > View

Then under "Display", see if "Formulas" is selected (checked) or not. If it is selected, than that's your problem -- just un-check the check box.

If it is not selected, then I'm at a loss as to what's going on, but probably someone else on this list can offer a good suggestion.
