And any chance that the sum is 0? Maybe you have positive, negative and zero
values in the range?

And one more thing to check.

Type these two formulas in separate cells:
=count(A1:a10)
=counta(a1:a10)

(change A1:A10 to the range you're summing.)

=count() will count the numbers in the range.
=counta() will count numbers, strings, even formulas that evaluate to "" in the
range.
