trying to sum up cells with £ and . point

hi all,

trying to sum up a selection of cells by doing this

=sum(c4:c29)

some cells inbetween the cells are blank but i see no problem with that as it will just ignore them but all the cells contain are in currency with decimal points ie

£895.00

how would i do this please

thanks,

rob

The text £895.00 is not a number. £895.00 might be a text with 7 characters while the numeric value is only in your mind.
=COUNT(C4:C29) counts the numbers in C4:C29.

You imported those values from a text file or from clipboard, didn’t you?
