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.

You need to multiply outside the SUM(...)
call, not inside.
Remove the outer parentheses.
Unless I am missing something, the formula you are looking for is =SUM(D9:D26)*1
The idea is to multiply the sum which is computed with this formula SUM(D9:D26)
and a multiplier of your choice by adding * 1
outside the first formula. An extra set of parentheses prevents Excel from parsing the formula correctly.
