Default Sum across spreadsheets & ignore blanks to get rid of #VALUE!

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me but it's sorted now.
Can't believe how simply it was solved, I've used Domenic's answer although
how I never tried such a basic formula I'll never know.
Too many hours at it had obviously dulled the brain!
Thanks again

Hi, there must be another problem somewhere, the SUM function is not
affected by blank cells or text.

Hi,
I'm trying to sum the total of the same cell in six adjacent
spreadsheets
(named 'July' to 'December') onto a separate summary sheet at the end.
My
problem is that many of the summed cells are blank which means my
formula
gives me a #VALUE! error. Current formula is:

=SUMIF(July:December!A108,"<""")

After trawling the forum for the answers to similar problems I came up
with
the formula above (also tried several variations) but it still returns
the
#VALUE! error when one or more of the summed cells is blank.

In addition, if all of the summed cells are blank, it would be nice to
get a
blank cell or £0.00 returned in the summary cell.

Thanks for looking and please help if you can.
Cheers,
Steve.
