How can I total just the numbers in a column and ignore non-numeric strings?
I have a column of prices as shown and want to be able to total the
entire column. Sometimes some of the individual items are "included" and sometimes they are not. If they are not included in the main price I need to include their individual prices in the column total. If the items ARE included in the main price the word "included" will appear instead of the feature's individual price, but I still need to be able to total the column. The SUM function returns a #VALUE! error. Main price 240000 feature A 80000 feature B 9500 feature C Included Feature D 93000 TOTAL 422500 How can I sum a column that has at least one number in it although there may also me non-numerics in it? |

Nevermind ... SUM works just fine ... I had a different (rather
stupid) problem. On Fri, 30 Jun 2006 06:52:19 GMT, Bud wrote: I have a column of prices as shown and want to be able to total the entire column.
