word 03 table calculations

[wynand]

can someone please assist.
As soon as a table goes onto more than one page, calculations in the last
cell does not work i.e. =sum(d1:d8) d1,d2,d3 on one page, the rest on next
two pages.
if I enter the above formula in d9 on page 3 the result is completely
incorrect.
there are no empty cells and all cells are in one table.

A simple exxample works OK here. What if you do something simpler, e.g.

{ =d1 }

or

{ =d8 }

?

It works for me? How many rows are there on each page? Is this a table
created by mail merge which will probably have a section break at the end of
each page?

the table range is a1:d8. column a contains dates. column B is a description
amount (invoice, therefore the rows go onto page 3.), c and d are amounts.
Column d is the final amounts 9which are $ 0.00 amounts).
I entered at the end of the table on page three to obtain another row and to
add d1:d8,
as far as Ican see all the data is in one table that go onto other tables

 

[wynand]

could it be a formatting issue?
the amounts are reflected as follows:
$000.00 and $0 000.00
If I enter a space in between the dollar sign and the amounts and place a
comma between zeros to act as a thousands seperator, the sum formula works
fine

Yes, Word will probably treat, e.g. $1 234.56 as "1"

Nope - it'll be treated as $1+234.56 = $235.56

 

[Peter Jamieson]

Yes!

Another one for the file...
