Does anyone know why when I enter =SUM(A1.A22)
Excel 2003 automatically changes the formula to =SUM(A1:A22)
I would be grateful for feedback
Thanks

The proper syntax is to use a colon, not a period. I think Excel
automatically corrects this for you -- the period syntax, I
believe, comes out of Lotus 123.

Why would you put a decimal point(period) in the formula?
Excel does not recognize that as a valid entry so assumes you mean A1:A22
Maybe you meant =SUM(A1,A22)
