What is wrong with this simple formula?
What is wrong with this formula:
=SUM(H10:H38) - (sumH10:H15+sumH18:H19+H22+H26) I want to add all numbers H10 thru H38, and subtract from that the sum of (H10:H15+H18:H19+H22+H26) The result I'm getting is #NAME? or, if I use =SUM(H10:H38) - (H10:H15+H18:H19+H22+H26), the result I get is #VALUE! Jack |

You are missing some paranthesis.
I think this is what you need: =SUM(H10:H38) - (SUM(H10:H15)+SUM(H18:H19)+H22+H26) Regards, Per "Jack B" skrev i meddelelsen ...

Jack There are a coupel of things wrong with each. The first one should be =SUM(H10:H38) - sum(H10:H15)+sum(H18:H19)+H22+H26. You were putting the parentheses in teh wrong spots The second one shoudl be =SUM(H10:H38) - (Sum (H10:H15)+H18:H19+H22+H26), |

Did you really mean "subtract from"
=sum(h10:h15,h18:h19,h22,h26) - sum(h10:h38) or maybe you meant: =sum(h10:h38) - sum(h10:h15,h18:h19,h22,h26) Jack B wrote: What is wrong with this formula: =SUM(H10:H38) - (sumH10:H15+sumH18:H19+H22+H26) I want to add all numbers H10 thru H38, and subtract from that the sum of (H10:H15+H18:H19+H22+H26) The result I'm getting is #NAME? or, if I use =SUM(H10:H38) - (H10:H15+H18:H19+H22+H26), the result I get is #VALUE!
