    Two differents sums

    Hi all,

    I have a series of numbers in a Column.Most of the cells empty the actual numbers being intermittent.So to check the sum of these numbers I looked down to the Excel default sum,that is housed on the bottom bar in excel(on the right hand side).Something didn't ring true about the sum amount,so I did an =SUM and got a different figure.

    I then checked it manually and found out that the +SUM function had produced the correct figure,and the default figure was wrong(by almost double).
    Is there a reason for this,could it be because I have blank cells as well as numbers in the column.Another point that might be of significence is that the number in the said columns was arrived at by using a formula .I cant see how that would effect it but I am new to a lot of Excel.Am I making a common mistake.Any suggestions most welcome.

    Kind Regards
    John

    I think to make any diagnosis on this one that we'd need to see some sample data.
    Would it be possible to post a sample workbook, desensitized if necessary.

    Agree we would need to see a sample workbook of this, but do you by chance have subtotals in that range?
