In the cell where you want to apply the formula, start by typing the equal sign (=) to indicate that you're entering a formula.

For example, if the source sheet is named "Sheet2", you would type "Sheet2!".

That's out of scope. The question is why =SUM(<such reference as you suggested>) returns 0.
