How do you add the value of a range that contains formulas?
Posted by Lynne on September 24, 2001 11:11 AM
I'm trying to get a column of cells to add and each cell in the column contains a formula. So I want the add function to only recognize the value in each cell instead of the formula. Now I can get it to work if I list each cell in the formula like this: =value(b2+b4)
but since there are 50 cells I need to add I want to put in the range. However, when I do this =value(b2:b52) I get this error:#value!
Can anyone help me? Please??!

Lynne,
Just use
=SUM(B2:B52)

That doesn't work with formulas
When I do that it gives me a return of 0 even though there are numbers in the cells. I believe that with that fx it sees the formulas in each cell as text and doesn't recognize the values listed. Do you have another suggestion?

Re: That doesn't work with formulas
Sum would ignore text-formatted numbers but it shouldn't any problems with numbers produced by formulas.
Try the following:
=SUMPRODUCT((B2:B52)+0)
