MS Access Forum / New Users / July 2006formula gives nonsense answer
am trying to do simple addition and subtraction ( in a financial spreadsheet). But the answer to an addition of values in a noncontiguous series of cells is frequently shown as a date instead of a number. I understand that Excel is counting days instead of numbers , but how do I stop this ? > am trying to do simple addition and subtraction ( in a financial > spreadsheet).

The access in this groups name refers to Microsoft Access, a database program. Please repost to the correct newsgroup for Excel. I would suggest you include your Windows and Office version number in the message.  SignatureFred Please respond only to this newsgroup. I do not reply to personal e-mail This is an Access newsgroup however, if you format the cell as a number rather than a date it should solve your problem.
