Faint highlighting when editing formula, any ideas??

Hello, it seems that some numbers, maybe ones that were copy and pasted from another source document are highlighted faintly when editing the SUM formula and are throwing off the final calculation. Any ideas?

Hi 1234x,


Check to see if they are formatted as number values. SUM would ignore text values.
