Thanks, Tom. I got things to work just as needed.

It is a worksheet formula and it is already set up. If
you want to do it in
code.

Application.Sum(((Val(Range("A17"))*Val(Range("A1 8")))+
(val(Range("A20"))*Va
l(Range("A21")))+(Val(Range("A23"))*Val(Range("A2 4"))))
*Range("A34"))

of course the Sum is superflous.

((Val(Range("A17"))*Val(Range("A18")))+(val(Range ("A20"))
*Val(Range("A21")))
+(Val(Range("A23"))*Val(Range("A24"))))*Range("A3 4")

would work as well.

Trying to sum three mulitplied cell pairs (A17*A8,
A20*A21, AND A23*A24), then, multiply that sum by a
final
cell value (A34). Problem is, A17, A20, and A23 are
linked to cells in another sheet where the formula is
=IF
(B10="","",SUM(AB10:AB13)) - which returns a #Value!
error
because of the quotes "" (when the value is blank).
Can't
use a zero instead of the quotes, so I'm advised to
substitute function calls, the "Ns", in the below
formula. Can someone help me further - how to set this
up.

"Add some function calls to convert the null string to
zero":
=SUM(((A17*A18)+(N(A20)*N(A21))+(N(A23)*N(A24)))
*A34)

Thanks, Phl
