counting the last 3 values not equal to x in a list
Try something like this:
=SUM(OFFSET(A1,,MATCH("X",A1:T1,0)-4,,3))
Is that something you can work with?
Post back if you have more questions.

ok, im a bit of a predicament
i have 20 columns (cells A1 to T1) in these cells the default value is
'x' but these x's change to numerical values when i enter data
elsewhere. leaving me with a possible example like this...
12 4 4 11 7 1 1 19 20 6 13 x x x x x x x x x
i want to be able to add up the sum of the last THREE values (on the
rightmost side) that arent equal to x
i.e. i want to add 20, 6 and 13
however the position of these last three values can vary between
anywhere in these columns although they are always joined (never an x
between two values but can be in columns A,B,C or G,H,I or R,S,T)
anyideas what i could enter into cell U1???
