Default Sum column values that contains text &/or dates


Mike,

There may be a single formula to do this but you could use a helper
column in column E to get the answer. I assume that all of your
numbers are formatted the same. Use the CELL function and SUMIF.

In Column E3:E10

=CELL("format",D3), drag down to E10

This identifies a numeric value using the thousands separator as ",2"
and dates as D4.

Then use this in the cell you want the calculation done in.

{=SUM(IF($E$3:$E$10=",2",$D$3:$D$10,0))}

Commit with Ctrl-Shift-Enter as it is an array formula.

Cheers,

Steve
