Sum A Range only if no text is present in the range
I'm trying to create a formula to sum a range of cells, like A1:A10,
but only if all the values are numbers. On occassion I may place the text "TBD" into a cell and if thats the case I want to sum of the range to be zero. This is the latest formula I tried but it didn't work. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. =SUM(IF(ISTEXT(A1:A10),0,A1:A10)) AJ |

=if(countif(a1:a10,"TBD")0,0,sum(a1:a10))
or =sum(A1:A10)*(Countif(a1:a10,"TBD")=0) AdmiralAJ wrote: I'm trying to create a formula to sum a range of cells, like A1:A10, but only if all the values are numbers.

To enter an **array** formula, you must hold down <ctrl<shift while hitting <enter. Excel will place braces {...} around the formula. --ron |
