Formula for Totals
Posted by Paulino on January 02, 2002 11:07 AM
Years ago, I used a formula to add a total that would only show the total if at least one value was entered in one of the cells. Otherwise, the cell would be blank. Is anyone know how to create that formula?

Try the IF function - see example...
Use the IF function, here is an example:
=IF(SUM(C7:C10)>0,SUM(C7:C10),"")
The above if in cell C11 would be "blank" unless the cells C7 to C10 had a number in them.

Rick --
What happens if C7:C10 houses the following numbers:
{5;-2;-3} ?
See my reply on Paulino's second post above for another approach.

=IF(COUNT(a1:a100)=0,"",SUM(a1:a100))

Your right, using Count in the IF function is better. (NT)
