You do not even need to empty the cell, after making sure the cell is
formatted number just edit the formula [like remove the last ) and
retype it] and then press enter. =SUM(B4:B8) > =SUM(B4:B8 > =SUM(B4:B8)
and enter. Just out of interest, there is no difference in the number of
actions required,.
