Problem

Solutions: The math feature was changed from WP 5.0 to WP 5.1. When a calculation is defined but you want to add at the bottom of the calculation column with a plus sign, in WP 5.0 if you tabbed to the correct column the exclamation point (!) appeared. If you added the plus sign (+) next to it and then calculated, WP 5.0 would disregard the ! and calculate the +. WP 5.1 calculates the !. You must delete the [!] and then type in the + for a calculation column to add down in WP 5.1.

In other words, to total a calculation column, delete the exclamation mark before you insert the plus sign. An exclamation mark tells the program to add the numbers across the columns, and a plus tells the program to add the numbers down the column. Because an exclamation mark takes precedence over a plus, having both operators will cause the plus to be ignored.
