Default formula help

Phil

=SUMIF(A1:A6,"=",B1:B6)

or you can check the whole column:

=SUMIF(A:A,"=",B:B)

It depends on what you mean by "blank". If they actually have nothing in
them (empty blanks), then Trevor Shuttleworth's formula will work (for
the range A1:B6). If they might have the empty string (i.e., =""), ',
etc. (string blanks) then you can use

=SUMIF(A:A,"",B:B)
