------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Feb 5 13:07:50 +0000 2008 ------- LOL Excel is in-consequent (a) as is OOo (b) AD a) comments from fst Fri Jun 14 2002: I can reproduce in Excel 2003. But now enter number in A6, and fomula =SUM(A5:A6) in A7 ... A5 is nót counted :-) AD b) open Writer and add table A1:B3 - turn off number recognition (context menu or somewhere in options) - make sure formatting of A1 is text - enter number there - turn on number recognition - enter number there - add formula to A3: =sum(<A1:A2>) A1 ís counted :-))) Shall we organize a poll which team is right, sc or sw ;-) No, seriously. It is a problem when receiving wrong formatted xls-documents that you have to count upon. I created a macro that marks text cells with 'numbers' with a color and also changes them, so that the text becomes a real number. Happy to provide that to anyone interested (not yet had time to make a nice extension of it). Furthermore there are other tools to help with this (didn't try those however). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
