Default if function

In that case, you could use data validation, go to menu Data--Validation,
choose Custom for the Allow field
And either type or copy the following formula into the formula field:
=AND(LEN(Z58)=1,OR(CODE(Z58)=88,CODE(Z58)=120))
You can put in information if you want on the Input Message tab, or even
customize your error if they try to make an invalid entry into the cell on
the Error Alert tab.
Then your formula would be:
=($Z$58="x")*(SUM(AG46,AG48,AG50)

Just curious, what do you want if $Z$58 is not blank and not an x?
=IF($Z$58="",SUM(AG46,AG48,AG50),IF($Z$58="x",0,"Z 58 is neither equal to x
or blank")

I have a formula that is not working.
=if($Z$58="",ag46+ag48+ag50)-if($z$58="X",0) If cell z58 is empty I want it
to add the ag cells and if z58 cell has an x in it I want it to show 0. It
is doing 0 for both functions, it is not adding the ag cells. What am I
doing wrong?
