"Last 7 Days" running total?

If Max will excuse me commenting on his formula the reason it returns zero is
the same reason my formula returns VALUE, your numbers aren't numbers!!

No. It's because I have no idea of your layout. Often, when a solution is
presented a poster will come back and say "it doesn't work". This macro
should fix your numbers that aren't numbers.

Sub fixmynums()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'lr = Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row
On Error Resume Next
For Each c In Selection 'Range("a1:q" & lr)
If Trim(Len(c)) 0 And c.HasFormula = False Then
c.NumberFormat = "General"
c.Value = CDbl(c)
End If
Next

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Is this an auto-reply? It looks like it. The question is pretty straight
forward.

When I use the sum function it totals the cells okay. Doesn't that mean
they are numbers?

This formula is returning "#VALUE!".

Then your numbers aren't numbers, you have text in the range

Bob,

Your question isn't clear but if you want to sum the last 7 entries in
column C try this

=SUM(OFFSET(C1,COUNTA(C:C)-7,):OFFSET(C1,COUNTA(C:C),))

or to sum any date in the last 7 days

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A5000=TODAY()-6)*(C1:C5000))

Check your dates in col A. These should be real dates recognized by Excel,
not text dates. You can easily convert all text dates in col A at one go to
real dates using Data Text to Cols (with col A selected). In step 3 of the
wiz, under "Column data format", check "Date", then select the format of the
text dates from the droplist, eg: DMY. Click to Finish. Real dates will
respond when you say, format it to another date format via FormatCells.
Real dates are numbers, increasing chronologically. Hence the latest date =
maximum number in col A.

They are formatted for "real" dates.

Do your dates in col A respond properly when you try formatting it to
another date format via FormatCellsDate (choose another date type) ? This
is one easy way to test it. Text dates will NOT respond to any kind of date
formatting applied via FormatCellsDate. Recheck, let me know the results
here.

I surrender. This is more difficult than I anticipated. I'll do it
manually.

But why? The formula should work ok for YOU as well
Why don't you just copy n paste your actual last 7 days dates data here?
