Problem

Symptoms: Math does not calculate correctly if there are extra subtotals in the column. This problem seems to occur with subtotals with commas in them.
To duplicate the problem do the following:
1.      Turn Math on (Alt-F7, 3, 1)
2.      Press Tab twice, type the number 12, and press Enter
3.      Press Tab twice, type the number 12, and press Enter
3.      Press Tab twice, and type a plus (+) for a subtotal
4.      Press Tab twice, and type t1,000 for an extra subtotal
5.      Press Tab twice and type an equal sign (=) for a total
6.      Now calculate Math (Alt-F7, 3, 4)

You will see that the extra subtotal (1,000) was left out of the total. Solutions: This problem was occurring not because of the comma, but because the number 1,000 was overlapping onto the tab setting to the left of it. If the customer adjusted the tab settings to allow more space between the first and second tab, the problem did not occur. Note: it is a good idea to set up specific tab settings for each column when using Math rather than using the default tab settings.
