sumif results zero
Hi; I have an easy one that stumps me.
I have been using =sumif(b4:b63,"name",i4:i63) for many entries, and there is one client name that keeps resulting in zero or nothing. I have a monthly sales list; col b is sold to cust. name and the invoice value is in col.i there are several entries of the same client, so I simply,do sumif but why is this one client name resultsing in 0 ? I have checked spelling, commas, quotes etc. his name does have an apostropy ', but I use it in the formula. please help michelle |

sumif results zero
Hi Michelle,
Use the LEN() function to check if there's any character that isn't shown. Use the TRIM() function to get rid of unwanted spaces. Use CLEAN() to get rid of nonprintable characters One thing to be aware of, certainly if the data originated from a website, is the non-breaking space, look here for a solution: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/join.htm#trimall -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "Michelle" wrote in message ...

sumif results zero
Thank you,with this information I was able to find that the name had an extra
space at the end, since I copy and paste all the entries for this customer were not working with the formula. Once I cleared the space "bingo". Thanks again!
