When competing hypotheses are equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces
the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.

See if this is what you had in mind...

96...x
51.....
22...p
73.....
81.....

Sum A1:A5 where the corresponding cell in B1:B5 is blank/empty:

=SUMIF(B1:B5,"",A1:A5)

Result = 205 (51+73+81)
