    Cell shows wrong result

    I have a cell which is the result of adding cells, the result should be 33 and it is showing 41701.
    I have the cell on General format.
    Thank you

    Re: Cell shows wrong result

    almost inmpossible to say without seeing what you are working with, but the value 41701 looks like a date value (3/3/2014)

    Can you provide a sample workbook please?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

    ...yes I suspect it's not a coincidence that jatolo is expecting a number containing two 3s and is finding a date containing those two numbers.
