    A weirdly perplexing but likely basic problem with autosum.

    Hi Everybody

    I'm a new user just dipping into the basic functions. I'm having a problem with autosum that I just can't understand why it is not working (at least in part).

    If you take a look at the sheet (the data is BTC) is seems to give the total no problem for colum B.

    However I can't get it to work with the data in colum C

    It just refuses to add up the data and says the total is 0.

    Does anybody know why this is happening?

    The "numbers" in column C all have a trailing space so are being treated as text. Try using a global replace to change space to nothing in column C, or use Text to Columns to convert them.

    Sorry to be dense, but where do I find the Global Replace?

    At least I now kinda know why it isn't working.
