Please advise which LO version you are using and your OS. This will help us determine if the problem is a know issue with a specific version of LO or with a particular OS.

For your problem, I was able to replicate the behavior in LO 3.4.4 and try the following:

=sum(if(isnumber(b5),-b5,0),if(isnumber(c5),-c5,0),if(isnumber(d5),d5,0,if(isnumber(e5),e5,0))

Alternate

=sum(if(isnumber(d5),d5,0),if(isnumber(e5),e5,0))-sum(if(isnumber(b5),b5,0),if(isnumber(c5),c5,0))

I am validating that the data is actually a number (isnumber(cell) = true) and using either the value in the cell if true or 0 if it is not a number. Without redesigning your entire spreadsheet this may be the simplest way to fix your problem.

Hello,

I use this formula in calc on a large forecast spreadsheet

=sum(e4+d5)-(b5+c5)

There has to be some cells with text but the text is not being ignored

When it gets to a row with text in a cell it shows   #VALUE!

I have searched and =sum is supposed to fix this ??

Can you help.

Thank you

Toni
