Are you sure F13:F27 actually contains numbers, not text?

PeterBartholomew1 Thank you so much for your help and your good wishes, if I had known my cognitive ability would be impaired I would not have had the procedure and taken my chances. one other question, how should i format the cells in the column, I am only entering dollar amounts, General, Number, accounting etc......

Just keep active. The effects of anaesthetic wear off over time!
Try currency format. If the currency symbols do not show, you do not have numbers.
