<pre>Help for SUM [1] includes this note:
<span class="quote">> SUM ignores any text or empty cell within a range or array. If you suspect
> wrong results of the SUM function, look for text in the data ranges. Use the
> value highlighting feature to highlight the text contents in the range that
> may represent a number.</span >
However, this applies not only to SUM, but also to AVERAGE [2], SUMSQ [3], and
PRODUCT [4], all of them not having similar note. They should get it.
