Default Can anybody help me with basic sum formula please?


Hi Everyone,

I am having really bad trouble with an excel spreadsheet made for one
of our guys to monitor the sales in our company (selling phones).

Basically we have a workbook that has all stuff like Pass, Fail, and
Pendings etc for each sales person split up by days. Then we have
formula at the end which adds up a summary of the weeks figures. The
only thing,the guy puts in H (for holiday) or S (for sickness) in the
cells if the sales person is absent, but this then screws up the
formula and we cant see the totals! We need something that will add up
the relevant cells but that counts a "H" or "S" as a "0" if it is
present in the cell.

The existing formula is just

=SUM(E3+I3+M3+Q3+U3+Y3)

obviously in this there is nothing to say count H or S as zero.

Another person has suggested something like the formula below, however
we can't get this to work either.

=IF(OR(E3,I3,M3,Q3,U3,Y3="H"),0,IF(OR(E3,I3,M3,Q3, U3,Y3="S"),0,""))+(E3+I3+M3+Q3+U3+Y3)


If anybody can help us out we would be eternally gratefull. I can't
stress how much this would please us if somebody knew the answer or
correct formula for this problem.

I have uploaded the actual form itself if anyone wants to take a look
at it.
It is here

Thanks for taking your time to read this and i really appreciate any
help.

-Andy
