Adrian,

May not be your formula entry that's wrong. The keystroke Ctrl + `
toggles Excel between showing the results of formulae and the formulae
themselves. Might be worth a go to see if that changes things.

Thanks - just had that thought too - presumably formatting cells as
currency should allow formula to work?

Hi - new to creating my own excel formula having generally worked in the
past with spreadsheets with formula already in place.

Anyone tell me where I'm going wrong in that when I enter a formula
which seems to be in the correct format jfw only reads out the formula
not the result of it when I return to that cell.
EG if I want to sum the total of figures in column B, rows, 2 3 and 4
the formula should be =SUM(B2:B4) shouldn't it? I've tried typing this
straight in to a  cell (b5)  or pressing f2 and then entering it in but
either way as above jaws just repeats the formula doesn't announce the
total of those figures.

Where am I going wrong?
Thanks for any help.
