In my  EXCEL Spreadsheet, Autosum gives double the correct answer.  What am I doing wrong?

    How do you know it is double? Have you manually added all of the values? Are there hidden rows?

    How can anyone say what you are doing wrong when you show us nothing that you are doing?

    Post the formula created by "autosum".

    Personally, I dislike that term.  It is simply an "automatic" way of creating a SUM(...) expression.  Why not simply type SUM(...) yourself?

    Better still, upload an example Excel file (redacted) that demonstrates the problem to a file-sharing website, and post the public/share URL in a response here.
