Ignoring n/a in formulas

D

DKS

Does anyone know how to ignore n/a's when using formulas. I am trying to sum up a large sum of data and it is okay that some have n/a's but need the total of the group to add up. I have used the sumif formula but that doesn't work if I have to reference another cell when computing.

Try,

=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(A1:A10),A1:A10)), entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter

and adjust your range accordingly.

Hope this helps!

One way

=SUMIF(A1:D200,"<>#N/A")

Hi
one way: enter the following array formula (with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER)
=SUM(IF(ISNA(A1:A100),,A1:A100))
