sum errors
I am try to sum some cells from across 7 workbooks. Have tried consolodation
but it does not work how I need it to. Each work book has 4 worksheets the 1st is where I enter my data, the 2nd is a pivot table, the 3rd is just a plain chart and the 4th is a sum of all the data gathered from the pivot table (the work book also contains a list) Each work book is identical. I have an 8th workbook to contain all the summed data, and because consolodtion wont work I have a formula as follows... =SUM('[REWORK 01-05-05.xls]%'!$B$3+'[REWORK 25-04-05.xls]%'!$B$3+'[REWORK 26-04-05.xls]%'!$B$3+'[REWORK 27-04-05.xls]BURST %'!$B$3+'[REWORK 28-04-05.xls]%'!$B$3+'[REWORK 29-04-05.xls]%'!$B$3+'[REWORK 30-04-05.xls]%'!$B$3) (the name of the sheet being summed is called '%' if you was wondering) This works to a point where some of the cells do not have a value, but display '#n/a' , this is because it is linked to a further page within each workbook which some of the cells do not have a value entered. The result is in the 8th workbook I get '#n/a' where there should be a value. How do I ignore the cells containing '#n/a'? Hope this makes some sense to you all, I know there is probably a simple solution but being a novice with excel I can't work it out! |

Your use of the SUM function is redundant.
=IF(ISNUMBER('[REWORK 01-05-05.xls]%'!$B$3),'[REWORK 01-05-05.xls]%'!$B$3) +IF(ISNUMBER('[REWORK 25-04-05.xls]%'!$B$3),'[REWORK 25-04-05.xls]%'!$B$3) +...

Thanks Jerry, that formula works a treat.
Now I just have to apply it to the other 350 other workbooks! Regards Mark |
