Setting Conditional Formulas
I have 4 variables with value of either 0 or 1 - Var1, Var2, Var3, Var
I have 4 cells that correspond to those variables - "Cell1", "Cell2", "Cell3", "Cell4 And I have a total cell - "Total I am trying to set the formula of "Total" to add all cells that the variable is 1 e.g. If Var1, Var3 and Var4 are equal to 1 then Range("Total").Value = "=Cell1+Cell3+Cell4 But I don't know how to work the IF statement into setting the formula Any Ideas? (Besides writing a whole lot of nested IF statements Thanks Wes |

Setting Conditional Formulas
Since var1, var2, var3, var4 are all 0/1, couldn't you just add them. The 0's
won't hurt. range("total").value = var1 + var2 + var3 + var4 oohhhh. Var1...var4 are 0/1's, but the cell1...cell4 don't have to be: range("total").value = var1 * range("cell1").value _ + var2 * range("cell2").value _ + var3 * range("cell3").value _ + var4 * range("cell4").value 0*whatever won't hurt the total. (as long as those cells are numeric!)

Setting Conditional Formulas
if you want to do something like this in a worksheet
assume A1:A4 have 0 or 1 assume B1:B4 have numeric entries =sumproduct(A1:A4,B1:B4) -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy Wstohler wrote in message ...

Thanks for the help,
The problem is that I'm using named ranges for Cell1, etc. And some might be deleted. So if I try to add a named range that has already been deleted, it will give me an error. Any further ideas? |

Tot = 0 for i = 1 to 4 set rng = nothing on Error Resume Next set rng = Range("Cell" & i) on Error goto 0 if not rng is nothing then tot = tot + rng * choose(i,var1,var2,var3,var4) end if Next -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Wstohler" wrote in message ...
