I have a worksheet which I would like to sum the totals of the 100 cells
(same column, non-consecutive rows)
with the highest values in them and place this resultant in a cell of its
own.

Can this be done?
Thanks,
Eric

P.S. I posted this in the MISC group the other day but I think this group
may be more appropriate.

I am getting an error because the cells I want compared are in
non-consecutive rows. How can I work around this?

Thanks,
Eric

When you said non-consecutive rows, I thought you meant the top 100 values
were not contiguous, i.e. the data is not sorted.

Nonetheless, unless you have numbers or error values in the range you don't
want to consider, there is no reason to use a non-contiguous range. Cells
with text should not interfere. So instead of A1:A5,A11:A15,A21:A25, use
A1:A25 as an example.

The column contains both text and number values I want to ignore. Trying to
select just the cells I want included for the comparison and calculation
does not work. I get a "too many arguments" error.
