how do i work i pints and gallons
David,
I knew about the Div/0 for blank cells and mentioned it in my response but
never tested it with (say) 0.n values. Thanks for pointing that out.
I was just looking at your formula to understand how you avoided div/0 for
blank cells and see it now.
Your solutions is much better than mine :(

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

That seems to give a #DIV/0! error if there are any empty cells (or cells
where the number of gallons is zero) in the range.

Hi,
I may have made hard work of this and someone may come up with
something simpler but in the meantime try this ARRAY formula. There
musn't be any blank cells in the range and see below on how to enter
an array formula
=SUM(INT(A1:A10))+MOD(SUM(MOD(A1:A10,INT(A1:A10))) *10,8)/10+INT(SUM(MOD(A1:A10,INT(A1:A10)))*10/8)
This is an array formula which must be entered by pressing
CTRL+Shift+Enter 'and not just Enter. If you do it correctly then
Excel will put curly brackets 'around the formula {}. You can't type
these yourself. If you edit the formula 'you must enter it again with
CTRL+Shift+Enter.
i would like to have a column that works in pints and gallons that
will add up at the bottom.
so if i put in 1.4 (1 being a gallon & .4 being pints) + 2.7 (2
being a gallon & .7 being pints) the answer i need would be 4.3
as there are 8 pints in a gallon
Using Excel 2007
