Selecting cells shows count, not sum

2

I have a PC with Excel 2000 and when I select the numbers from some cells, it shows in the status bar the Count of the cells. I need to make it to show the Sum of that cells.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

In Excel 2000/2007/2010:

Right clicking the status bar where you have Count currently should give you a context menu to select Sum.

This could also be the way the text is stored. If it's stored as text and not a number the sum will not calculate. You should be seeing an exclamation point to show this error. Highlight all of the column, select the exclamation point and convert to number. This will then show the calculation in bar.
