FALSE statement?
 

Can anyone tell me why using this formula =IF(COUNT(B35:B38,F35:F38)0,
SUM(B35:B38,F35:F38), "") in my work sheet in F40, combined with pulling it
through to my summary sheet with this formula =IF(OOP!F40="","",OOP!F40)
results in FALSE statement?

Thanks in advance.

This is related to the thread "If or". I suggest that we keep all related
discussion in the original thread. Context is important.

There's nothing wrong with either formula so I don't see how a result of
FALSE is even possible.

Can you think of any reason or solution to the FALSE statement?

If the formulas you posted are the *exact* formulas you're using in your
file it's not possible that either one of them will return FALSE.

Both have a defined value_if_false argument.

I guess common sense will not prevail, and we are condemned to splitting the
discussion. As they say, to err is what distinguishes humans from other
animals. So I'll paraphrase what I wrote in your other thread, then I'll
leave you to others who want to help.

The second formula, which is in P21 of the summary sheet, can return FALSE
only if OOP!F40 contains the value FALSE.

One way that the formula in F40 can return FALSE is if you wrote the
following by mistake:

=IF(COUNT(B35:B38,F35:F38)0, SUM(B35:B38,F35:F38))

But there might other ways that you can mangle the original formula so that
it returns FALSE.

If you want help, I suggest that you copy-and-paste your formulas from the
Formula Bar (the field next to "fx" just below the toolbar) into your
postings.
