# Episode 41 answer check

This check is independent of Excel calculation and uses the fictional source values in `text-amounts-practice.xlsx`.

| Cell or field | Expected |
| --- | --- |
| `A2:A5` | Text IDs `0071`, `0072`, `0073`, `0074` |
| `B2:B4` | Text strings `125`, `80`, `40` |
| `B5` | Numeric `55` |
| `B7 =SUM(B2:B5)` | **55**, because the three text cells are ignored |
| `C2:C5` after conversion | Numeric `125`, `80`, `40`, `55` |
| `C7 =SUM(C2:C5)` | **300** |

Independent arithmetic: `125 + 80 + 40 + 55 = 300`. The omitted amount is `125 + 80 + 40 = 245`; `300 - 245 = 55`. Do not convert the Order ID column.
