Cells not adding together

Kelly Lee

I have a sheet that has one column that I am needing to total . The formula consist of only 3 cells in the column but it is only adding one cell in the total. Any suggestions?

Remove the quotes from around the second 23. When you put quotes around a number it becomes text which will not be included in numeric calculations such as SUM.

=IF(Formula4 > 23, 23 , Formula4)

Hi @Kelly Lee

Can you maybe share the formula you're using and some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

In the formula cell =+Points3/Week1*13

In the forecast cell is +if (formula3>23,"23", formula3)

When you change the week it is only showing the one point value and not totaling correctly.

Hi @Kelly Lee,

The second formula you displayed is the one on [Forecast Score]3? or the one in what I believe is [Forecast Score]7?

When you used specific cells references like you are, dragging down formulas will updates cells reference. If you want to make sure they don't update, you have to put $ before row number like Formula$3.

Here in the highlighted Forecast Score you are reporting the Formula4 value, which makes me think that the formula in this cell is:

=IF(Formula4>23,"23",Formula4)

Hope that helped!
