how to sum numbers in non english language
Hi,

I am using transliteration function in Google spreadsheet (in Bengali) language where there is a range of numbers (in Bengali language in the transliterated forms). I wish to sum the numbers in the range. However, I am unable to use to =sum(reference:reference). The function is not working, even though I turn off the transliteration function.

Is there a way out?

Let me know.

Regards,
Kalyan

Hello Yogi,

Thank you very much for your reply. I have made a copy of the file. 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApBadtaTnUiMdFFtLTJ3NGZXWlN2SXk3ZEJCYjl4TXc&usp=sharing

Please try to find a solution to this. You can ask me any question regarding the language used in the doc. Else, you can use Google translator to understand the letters in the non-english spreadsheet.

Thank you very much in advance.

Regards,
Kalyan
