Problem adding up

I think that after trying all the suggestions of Frank and Peo and if they
didn't work, I would just open a new work book and re-type the 17 entries by
hand, making sure they were entered as numbers and not text and typing
nothing in the cell except numbers. If you want currency formatting, that
can be added with Right-click Format Cells Number Tab, and either
currency or custom..........sometimes, the Dragon wins g

the formula =SUM(C2:C19) i get the answer zero. I cant make out why. I

apreciate any suggestions. Thanks. sr
