Default Using a #Ref! in a column Sum

I'm doing a spreadsheet for payroll. I have set up cells that will imput as
the spreadsheet for that pay period is created. Right now, those cells are
#Ref!, which is fine because they're referencing a file we haven't created
yet. The problem is that I need to total that column with the Ref cells, but
the total ends up as a Ref error. Is there a way to tell it to make the
Ref=0, and still sum the column?

ex.
Month Hours Worked
January 10
February 40
March 40
April 10
May 40
June 40
July 10
August 40
September 40
October 10
November #Ref!
December #Ref!
Total #Ref!

Thanks in advance!

Try

=SUMIF(B2:B13,"<"&99^99)

I figured this out moments before I checked back and it does work for what
I'm doing. Thank you for such a quick response though!
