#ARG! - urgent
Hi All!
I have a sheet in MS Excel 97. When I sum the columns, for some of them I get invalid value #ARG!. The sums for the other columns are OK. I can't see any differences between those which sum up properly and those which give the #ARG! as a sum. Please help me. It is a matter of urgency. Regards Neo |

Look for cells that contain that same error.
Or if you're adding cells: =a1+a2+a3+... Look for some non-numeric data in any of those cells. Neo wrote: I have a sheet in MS Excel 97.

The columns with proper and with invalid sums
were created in the same way, as a copy of combination of other columns (with proper sums) using formulas. Look for cells that contain that same error. Or if you're adding cells: =a1+a2+a3+...

Thanks for your answers.
I've just found the reason. Some of the cells contained character "-" instead of "0". Regards Neo |

Instead of typing the hyphen in a cell that should be 0, you may want to use the
Accounting format. It shows zeros as hyphens. This won't help your subtotal/sum problem, though. You'll still need the data to be 0's. Neo wrote: Thanks for your answers. I've just found the reason. Some of the cells contained character "-" instead of "0". Regards Neo -- Dave Peterson |
