| I've got a SQL query returning data into MS Excel.One of the columns returns numbers that I then have a SUMIF formula totalling.However, when the numbers get to Excel, they are not recognised as numbers so my SUM doesn't work. Even if I format the cells as number, general or currency, the sum doesn't work. Excel knows that there is something in the cell but doesn't treat it as a number in any way. Can I include something in the SQL statement so that it forces the results to be a number?JM |

| The file is .xlsx and calculations are automatic.Even if I just select two cells with numbers in, in the bottom right corner of Excel (i forget what you call that bar) it counts the cells ok but does not sum them.Thanks,JM |
