Default SUMPRODUCT is OK for a while and later a similar formula retur

Pierian,

the column being summed is determine by the value being compared against, =0
is columns E, J etc., =1 is F, K, etc. and so on, so just adjust that part
of the formula.

Hi Bob, you probably recognise your own formula from yesterday! I tried

your
recommendation below in Column E (which is 5) and it worked. However, how

do
I move it on to Column F? I need to SUM ebery 5th Column. I thought you
indicated that 2 SUMS B, G, etc. So if I modifiy 2 . . . . .? Sorry for

being
a nuisance.

That is because the MOD value of MOD(n,5) is 0,1,2,3,4, there is no 5

Try

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(COLUMN(53:53),5)=0),53:53)

Hello, I'm using =SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(COLUMN(53:53),5)=3),53:53) and
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(COLUMN(53:53),5)=4),53:53) and they work fine. When

I
go
to =SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(COLUMN(53:53),5)=5),53:53) and
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(COLUMN(53:53),5)=6),53:53) these formulae return

zero.
They shouldn't because I'm just working across the columns and there

are
numeric values in Columns 5 and 6. I'm a novice Excel user. Thanks in
advance! Pierian Spring
