I need a formula to sum A1:50 even if there are blank cells within that
range.
For example, A1:25 has numeric data , but A26:50 is blank. I want A:51 to
sum the entire range of A1:50. How can I do this without having the #VALUE!
in cells A26:50?

Hi, I believe you are a student who needs to study a bit more. Seeking the
easy way out does not help. Try and see what you are doing wrong and you do
not find the answer come back.

Sum will ignore empty cells and text.

=SUM(A1:A50)

but A26:50 is blank
without having the #VALUE! in cells A26:50?

Hmmm...

That's bit confusing. I'll assume A26:A50 contain #VALUE! errors.

To get the sum of A1:A50 and ignore those errors:

=SUMIF(A1:A50,"<=1E100")
