Default sum column containing both text and numbers

You're welcome. That frequently happens (where you figure out the answer
right after you post. Or you remember some more information that you should
have included in the post.)

You were right - I found that out right after I posted.

Thanks!

Use the sum function. It will ignore text values and sum just the numbers.
If there are errors though, it will return the error value.

I need a formula that will sum a column that contains both text and numbers.
The text and numbers appear in this column as the result of an if formula (if
value returned 0, "-", [value]). Can I sum a column containing mixed
information?
