With Autosum, Excel will automatically add up a range of cells for you, and place the result in a nearby cell. Autosum has been around a long time, and will work in all recent versions of Excel, including Excel Online (part ot the Office365 Suite) and versions on the Mac.

A b c d e 5 Fort Belvoir Kreiger 12,000 4 Quantico Kreiger 10,000 3 Fort Myer Kreiger 7,500 1 Dahlgren Kreiger 4,000 0 Please help me figure out why I can't autosum the total of column d in the cell of column e where the 0 is. The cells are all formatted correctly with numbers, column d contains an IF statement which runs correctly. But when I tell e5 to autosum d2:d5, the result is always 0. What am I doing wrong? I've tried to remove the formatting and re-enter it and the info and the result is always the same. Hi, it wont sum the value if its treated as text so this suggests either the cells are formatted as text or there is some character included in the cell that you cant see. For unseen characters you can do a LEN formula on the cells to see if this is the case (ie if the len value is longer than the # characters you can see then theres something else in the cell).

An easy way to see whether a number is treated as text is if the value is left aligned in the cell rather than right aligned. To make sure the values are actually numbers than try this conversion technique. 1) Put a 1 into a blank cell and copy it 2) Select all the cells in your target sum range and select Edit Paste Special and choose the Multiply option. Multiplying by 1 coerces the value into a number. However this wont work if there is certain characters included in the value.

Tell me if this had any effect.

Johan wrote about a problem he was having with the SUMIF function in his worksheet. It seems that when the data in his worksheet changes, the SUMIF function doesn't automatically update. He is, however, able to update the formula if he selects it, presses F2 (to jump into edit mode) and then press Enter.
