In the context of a SUM function which typically sums numeric values, Celeste's data includes both numbers and a text value:

  • A = (text)
  • B = (text)
  • C = (text)
  • one = (text, the word for the number 1)
  • 2 = (numeric value)
  • 3 = (numeric value)

The SUM function usually ignores non-numeric values and sums only the numeric ones. Therefore, it would sum the values 2 and 3 only.

So, the calculation would be:

2 + 3 = 5

Thus, the function will return 5.
