Autosum results of multiple if statements?
I used multiple IF statements to return a number from 0 to 8. I now need to
sum the results of the returned numbers in a row. When I use =Sum(A7:J7) it returns 0. How do I get a total on this Row? Copy of statement =IF(B3=$B$2+1,"1",IF(B3=$B$2,"2",IF(B3=$B$2-1,"4",IF(B3=$B$2-2,"8","0")))) |

Your formula isn't returning numbers....
it's returning *letters* that look like numbers =IF(B3=$B$2+1,"1",IF(B3=$B$2,"2",IF(B3=$B$2-1,"4",IF(B3=$B$2-2,"8","0")))) Putting quotes around anything turns it into text. Try this: =IF(B3=$B$2+1,1,IF(B3=$B$2,2,IF(B3=$B$2-1,4,IF(B3=$B$2-2,8,0)))) Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Golf Nut" wrote: I used multiple IF statements to return a number from 0 to 8.

Remove the quotes from your numbers, since that makes them Text, and Sum()
ignores Text. =IF(B3=$B$2+1,1,IF(B3=$B$2,2,IF(B3=$B$2-1,4,IF(B3=$B$2-2,8,0)))) OR, Change your totaling formula to: =A7+B7+C7+D7+E7+F7+G7+H7+I7+J7 -- HTH, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Golf Nut" <Golf wrote in message ...
