FUNCTION SUM DOESN'T WORK WELL

If I sum a column of numbers * SUM (A12:A36) for instance * , the value of the SUM doesn’t appear in the cell A37 . How can I fix this mistake ? Many thanks .

Please don’t use only capitals on the title, it’s like shout, and it’s not necesary.

The correct syntax is =SUM(A12:A36). Place this in A37. Correct syntax can be found in off line help files (F1 key).

Maybe you have the numbers as text on the column not really numbers.

Please take a look:
