Excel 2003 sum formula problem
I have been entering currency data in Column B in Euros to an EXCEL 2003 s/s and the formula used has added these totals entered in that Column correctly until I reached a total sum of 74364.70 Euros ,this being the sum of entries in Rows B6 to B82 . This was reached with the formula showing as "=SUM(B6:B82)" - without quotation marks.
The next entry into Row 83 was a sum of 27618.75 Euros.Entry of this into Column B caused the cell showing the totals to change to a series of #### but with the new total showing correctly in parenthisis when the pointer was hovered over that cell. The formula was showing as expected as "=SUM(B6:B83)".
When I experimented with other entries into Column B , I found EXCEL adding these correctly to the Total of Column B but only if the total reached after any entries did not reach or exceed a figure of 100,000 !
Can anyone please explain what the problem is here ?
