Wouldn't a SUMIF work just as well and probably be faster?

I don't think I like this formula--even though it worked ok for you.
If you insert a single column in that range, then your formula won't sum the
columns that you want. (It's happened to a workbook I shared with a co-worker.
He inserted an extra column to add a short description--it screwed up his
results.)
I think I'd add a header row (row 1???). Then put an indicator to add those
cells that have the indicator in it.
=sumproduct(--(a1:k1="x"),a2:k2)
Then if you insert/delete columns, it might be less work.

Works like a charm. Thanks Dave.

Something like this may work for you:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(COLUMN(A1:K1),2)=0),A1:K1)
or
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(COLUMN(A1:K1),2)=1),A1:K1)
(first formula gives even numbered columns, second gives
odd numbered columns)

I have a large table where I would like to get the sum

every other column. My current method is to use the +
key and click on every other cell.
Is there a better way?
Thanks,
