Default I get the message "!Invalid Character Setting"

ex:
Row 1: value "1"
Row 2: value "2"
Row 3: Contains the result "=SUM(ABOVE)". The result is "3" if no mistakes,
but I got the message "!Invalid Character Setting". How do I solve it ?
Thanks.

Hi Chicken,

This depends on which version of Word you're using and usually only happens if you've got a conflict between your regional settings
and the number format you're using (ie the wrong decimal/thousands separator). See:

and

Cheers
