this may be simple, sumif question
i have a column that gets 2 values in it either a number which could be 0,
or a blank. i would like to sum another column if the first one is empty(blank). column A column B 1.02 1 row1 2.22 1 2 0.00 1 3 1 4 4.44 1 5 so sumif(a1:a5,not empty,b1:b5) would equal 4 as column A row 4 is blank. can this be expressed. i cant use 0 as 0 can be a valid answer. thanks. jim |

Your narrative seems a bit contradictory to me. If you want to count Column
B is Column A in not empty try: =SUMIF(A3:A9,"<"&"",B3:B9) If you want to count Column B when Column A IS empty try: =SUMIF(A3:A9,"="&"",B3:B9) -- HTH Sandy Replace@mailinator with @tiscali.co.uk "jim sturtz" wrote in message ... i have a column that gets 2 values in it either a number which could be 0, or a blank. i would like to sum another column if the first one is empty(blank). column A column B 1.02 1 row1 2.22 1 2 0.00 1 3 1 4 4.44 1 5 so sumif(a1:a5,not empty,b1:b5) would equal 4 as column A row 4 is blank. can this be expressed. i cant use 0 as 0 can be a valid answer. thanks. jim |
