Peter, I'm new to the user group, how can I report it as an issue?

According to <> the <> operator is not equal to (I didn't know that). I applied that a spreadsheet like yours it looked roughly like this A B - - 1|1 2|2 3|3 G 4|4 5|5 G I used an equation like =SUMIF(B1:B5;"<>G";A1:A5) in cell A6. In the above spreadsheet I received a value of 0 in A6. However, if I put any value in B1, I got a value of 1 in cell A6. So, the issue is, that it considers cells B1,2, & 5 to be empty but it doesn't evaluate them as anything! Weird. So, that is the problem. I don't know how to fix that. I tried formatted the cells as different things with no success, so I will leave that for you to fix or report as an issue.
