spreadsheet problem

[Tony Vella]

66 years old.

I have been asked to record daily my weight and blood-sugar count. I am
using Excel 2003 on a Vista machine. I am trying to compare averages between
doctor visits.

I have both columns formatted as number
(select column>format>cells>number, 2dp)
yet when I try to sum or average the numbers, the formula only includes the
last 3 cells. It also will not add the .00 to the rest of the numbers in the
columns. I have selected the entire spreadsheet and made sure the protection
"lock" is not selected.

I hope I explain myself well enough for someone to help - I am certainly no
whiz at this. Thanks in advance for all help.

off list to my address below AND
If desired, send your file to my address below. I will only look if:
1. You send a copy of this message on an inserted sheet
2. You give me the newsgroup and the subject line
3. You send a clear explanation of what you want
4. You send before/after examples and expected results.

When you sum or average check your formula, i.e., =SUM(A1:A5), or
AVERAGE(A1:A5) to make sure you have the correct range of cells in the
parenthesis. If the formula is correct the result should be.
