Zeros are always included. 4 - What is the sum of -2, -3, 4, 5 and 6. 5 - What is the sum of the values in the array (-2, -3, 4, 5, 6). 6 - What is the sum of the values in range "B1:B3". 7 - What is the sum of the values in range "B1", "B2" and "B3". 8 - What is the sum of the values in range "B1", "B2", "B3" and "B4". B4 is empty. Empty cells are always excluded. 9 - What is the sum of the values in range "B1", "B2", "B3" and "B5". B5 is zero so this gets included. 10 - What is the sum of the values in range "B1", "B2", "B3" and "B6". B6 is text so this gets excluded. 11 - What is the sum of the values in range "B1", "B2", "B3" and "B7". B7 is a logical value so this gets excluded. 12 - What is the sum of the values in range "B1", "B2", "B3" and "B8". B8 is a date so this gets included as a date serial number. 13 - What is the sum of the values in the named range that refers to the range "B1:B3". 14 - What is the sum of the values in range "B5", "B6" and "B9". B9 contains an error so that gets returned. 15 - What is the sum of 2 and "2". Text values that are actually numbers are included. 16 - What is the sum of 2 and "some text". Text values passed as arguments are excluded. 17 - What is the sum of the values in the array (2, "some text"). Text values inside arrays are excluded. 18 - What is the sum of 2 and TRUE. Logical values passed as arguments are included. 19 - What is the sum of 2 and FALSE. Logical values passed as arguments are excluded. 20 - What is the sum of the values in the array (2, TRUE).
