What formula would I use to sum a column of values like this?

6.19
#N/A
#N/A
2.97
#N/A
#N/A
5.22

Hi Brad,

To sum all the numeric values in a column of cells containing either numbers or #N/As, you can use the SUMIF function with the ISNUMBER function as the criteria.

Here are the steps to follow:

1. Select the cell where you want to display the sum.
2. Type the following formula:
   Code:

   =SUMIF(range,"0")

3. Replace "range" with the range of cells you want to sum. In your case, it would be the column of cells containing the values you provided.
4. Press Enter.

The formula will sum all the numeric values in the range and ignore any non-numeric values like #N/A.

=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(A1:A100),A1:A100))

which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not
just Enter.
Excel will automatically enclose the formula in braces (curly brackets), do
not try to do this manually.
When editing the formula, it must again be array-entered.

First thing that comes to mind is to get rid of the N/A errors, put this in
your formula's if(iserror(yourformula),"" or zero, yourformula)

You should get rid of those errors but in the meantime

=SUMIF(A1:A100,"<#N/A")

You could use the following as an **ARRAY** formula.

To enter an array formula, hold down <ctrl<shift while hitting <enter.
Excel will place braces {...} around the formula if you did it correctly.

=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(A1:A10),A1:A10))

Note that you cannot reference the entire column using this method (e.g. you
cannot use A:A; maximum range would be A1:A65535)
