Hi!

If you do want the #N/A's to display try this:

=SUMIF(A1:L1,"<#N/A")

I am using numerous VLOOKUP functions (including the "FALSE" option)
accross
a row to extract exact values from the same range, which may or may not
contain the look-up value. I then want to sum accross the row to give me
a
running total. The problem is that VLOOKUP returns "#N/A" when an exact
match is not found; which then returns a "#N/A" error in the sum function.
