adding numbers but not letters
I have two columns of mainly numbers - I want to know if each column has a
number of 5 or over. Using IF(AND(D3=5, E3=5), "yes", "no") gives the right answer unless there is a letter in one of the cells. How can I get it to ignore all letters? |

=IF(COUNT(D3:E3)=2,IF(AND(D3=5, E3=5), "yes", "no"),"no")
or =IF(AND(COUNT(D3:E3)=2,D3=5, E3=5), "yes", "no") best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "SoozeeC" wrote in message ...
