But when your format of the <strong>cell is set erroneously<\/strong> then it mostly triggers this issue. Moreover, when the numbers are formatted as the text values in a cell then it can also cause this problem.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As you have known the major factors now, let\u2019s proceed to fix it.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"p3\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>How to Solve Excel Sum Formula Not Working Returns 0 Issue?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By following the below workable solutions, you can easily stop getting 0 in MS Excel when using SUM.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"c1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Case 1:<\/span> When Number Kept as a Text<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As I have already mentioned above, when the numbers are formatted as the text values in a cell, it can trigger this problem.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Therefore, here I will show how you can tackle this issue by trying 4 easy ways:<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Way 1: Using Convert to Number Command<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The very first method I would like to suggest is to use the handy command\u00a0known as Convert to Number.
