Very simple problem in MS Excel (that is what I think). Following formula:
=SUM((D9:D26)*1)
Gives me a #VALUE! error.
Why? Cannot I not multiply the sum of a bunch of fields?
Thanks in advance.

Unless I am missing something, the formula you are looking for is
=SUM(D9:D26)*1The idea is to multiply the sum which is computed with this formula
SUM(D9:D26)and a multiplier of your choice by adding* 1outside the first formula. An extra set of parentheses prevents Excel from parsing the formula correctly.
