Summing rather than Countinh when selecting cells

[will]

Hi,

Its a minor point but one that is bugging me.

My excel 2000 has stopped displaying the sum of cells which I select with my
mouse and has instead started displaying the count - does anyone know how to
change this back?

So for example, A1 has "10", A2 has "20" and A3 has "30". Previously, if I
had clicked on cell A1 and dragged the selection over to A2 and A3, the
window bottom right would have shown "Sum = 60". Now, however, it says "Count
Numbers = 3".

Thanks,

Will

Hi Will
Try right clicking where you see Count, and change the Option back to Sum

Hi Will,

Right-click in that area and you will be offered a choice
