I need to setup an equation or macro that will take all the cells (a2:a60000)
that are not null and add them together. How is this accomplished?

-tia

Just use SUM. It will add up all numeric cells...

=SUM(A2:A60000)

The only thing is that it won't work if you have a circular reference
stuck in there somewhere

Sorry, I was a little unclear. I need to take all the cells that are not null
and add the number of non null cells together, not the number of all the
numbers/items in the cell. The cells are a list of film rolls and some rolls
have non numeric characters in them.

Currently I have 673 cells that have information in them letting me know I
have 673 rolls. What is the equation of macro that is used to add up all of
these non null cells in column A that will let me know the total number of
rolls I have at a glance.

Hope this helps


Sub Film_rolls()
Dim task As Range
Dim rolls As Integer
Set task = Range("a1:a60000")
For Each cell In task
If cell.Value < "" Then rolls = rolls + 1
Next
MsgBox " I HAVE " & rolls & " Rolls of film"
End Sub
