Spread Sheets issues.URGENT HELP PLEASE

I'm having problems with my spread sheet.   I highlight a row to sum and it
adds everything but the first line.  I tally each months expenses into a
total and then use that total as the basis of next month's opening balance
but Open Office is not allowing that.  If I highlight and auto sum lines
110 to 123, the formula shown in the total cell reads =SUM (A111:123) and
ignores the first cell.  Please help, just converted to open office and now
all my accounting is wrong.

Remember there is also the '$' to fix the range to either a row or a
cell. In the event you move your range, it will stick to the initial
cell.

Example:

$A11 -> will stick to column A
A$11 -> will stick to row 11
$A$11 -> will stick to both column A and row 11.

Select cell A111 and if it shows a *`* in the formula bar before the 
value it is defined as text.
Just delete the ` and it should give you the correct results.
