I am trying to add a column of numbers using the SUM function. The result
displayed is 0, but it should be much larger than this.
 
What result do you get with:

=SUMPRODUCT(--Range)

compared to:

=SUM(Range)

where Range is not a whole column reference?
 
it is possible that excel is treating your numbers as text, to test this, in
another cell type
=ISNUMBER(D1)
where D1 is a number in the column you want to sum
if FALSE is returned then you need to select a blank cell (probably on
another worksheet) and choose copy
then select your column and choose edit / paste special / add and click OK

then reenter your SUM formula and it should work.
