(De Ja Vu - I believe you've told me that before for another problem)

I tried my formula in a new spreadsheet and it seemed to work, as did yours.
I tried it again in my first spreadsheet but still had a problem. I seem to
have got round it now by replacing the '+' with a comma - perhaps because
they are not consecutive cells? I'm not sure, but I've managed to get it
working.

Thanks for your quick response!

SUM will handle blank cells so there must be another problem.

I got a result of zero with no data in your range.

I need to show the sum of every 14th cell from S20 to DM20. Some of these
cells will be blank.

The basic SUM formula I am using is:
=SUM(S20+AG20+AU20+BI20+BW20+CK20+CY20+DM20)

Due to some of the cells being blank, I am getting a result of #VALUE!

How can I get it to still show a value, i.e. to still sum the values that
are present?

Thanks
