Sum column into Sheet Summary not correct number

SLloyd

=SUM([Est. Rev 2024 NOVEMBER]:[Est. Rev 2024 NOVEMBER])

I am trying to sum a column into a Sheet Summary but the total is wrong. When I highlight the cells in the column, they show 239190 but the formula in the Sheet Summary shows 258450.

Can you help me?

Hi @SLloyd

I hope you're well and safe!

Your formula includes the whole column regardless of whether you have an active filter or not. It would only show a difference when you select the column manually with an active filter.

Make sense?

Do you have a filter on the sheet or anything? What happens in the bottom right corner if you click on the column header to highlight the entire column?

Hi @SLloyd

I hope you're well and safe!

To add to Paul's excellent advice/answer.

• Also, check so you don't have any numbers that might be "hidden" because they are the same color as the background.

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

That must be it! I had a filter on!

Is there a way to SUM and exclude the filter?
