My formula is =IF(AND(0<J3,J3<6),J3+1,"6") but when i use sum to add the
cells together is doesn't count any cell with "6" in. Why is this and how do i change this please. |

why doesn't excel count "numbers" in an IF formula
Hi,
The quotes around the 6 make it text so sum won't add them up =IF(AND(J30,J3<6),J3+1,6) Note I've also changed the formula to a more understandable format.

Remove the quotes from the number 6, otherwise it will be formatted as
text.. =IF(AND(0<J3,J3<6),J3+1,6) Hope this helps! http://www.xl-central.com In article , Noddy2011 wrote: My formula is =IF(AND(0<J3,J3<6),J3+1,"6") but when i use sum to add the cells together is doesn't count any cell with "6" in. Why is this and how do i change this please. |

Hi,
I don't understand the question. You can't directly change a cell colour with a formula but you can evaluate the formula result with conditional formatting and change colour. What colours do you want and in what circumstances?
