Hello, Mark: 

Thank you for your prompt reply. I apologize, but I mis-punctuated
my original message. The formula, as you correctly observe, is =SUM(C2:C46)
--and that's pasted directly from the spreadsheet. 

However, it still returns a result of 0 (zero). 

I've been working with spreadsheets (mostly Excel) since the days of 
Lotus Symphony. I had high hopes for LibreOffice and have had good 
results with the document package so far. But this spreadsheet behavior 
is driving me nuts. 

I would appreciate any suggestions. 

Would you like me to e-mail you a copy of the spreadsheet? 

Sincerely/Bill Woodruff

You try to sum numeric text (a sequence of digits).

2010-11-04 Thread plino

Actually it depends on your Language Settings.

And LibreOffice inherited the problems from OpenOffice...

E.g. for Portuguese (European) the decimal separator is a comma(,)  but if I
prefer to use a point (because most international publications are formatted
according to US notation) when I disable the box "Same as locale setting" it
will type the point and as soon as I press enter it will convert it to a
date. This is a clear mistake since a point is not a separator in
Portugal... i.e. typing 2.3 is converted to 02-03-2010 which is value 40239

Your both right, based on OS.




Actually just ran a quick test on Ubuntu and WinXP.  The ':' is used for 
a range (a1:a4) a ';' is changed to a ',' for two cells (a1,a4).

Well this depends on what you aim for.

=SUM(A1:B10) sum up all from A1 to B10
=SUM(A1;B10) sum A1 and B10

I am going through the same process in a much smaller office. Once my
users find LibreOffice they prefer to not go back to MS.

Nice to hear Bill. How many desktops have migrated? It sounds like they 
still have MSO installed as well?

Same result  I put 3 blank line, 1st line of text, 1 image below the

When you open with Lib0 there are only blank and text lines... image 
anchor is correctly on line 5 but there is no visible content.

To Whom It May Concern:

I don't want to sound nuts or something, but I just in stalled LibreOffice 3.3.0
(build 3.2.99.2)and when I attempt to do a =SUM function on a column in
  a
spreadsheet, it doesn't work. It won't recognize the range of cells
  defined by the
mouse. And when I manually insert the range (i.e., =SUM(C2,C46))
  it returns a
result of 0 (zero).

Shouldn't a working =SUM function be one of the basic elements
of a spreadsheet?

I'm sure it's my fault. Could someone please explain what
I'm doing wrong?
