Hello.

I have a formula to find unique values in a column. I fill this down to a row where it will never exceed. Therefore, I have a lot of blank values after the last unique value.

When I am doing a sumifs off these values, I use a wildcard to sum values based on the cell to the left. When I do this on my blank cells, it repeats basically the total value of the cell since it sums everything with *(blank)* as a wildcard.

I would like this to happen once, as it basically acts as a grand total value.

How do I prevent this from duplicating?


Ex. data:



ColorSales% of total
Black10058.8
Red5029.4
Grey2017.8
(blank)170100.0
(blank)170100.0
(blank)170100.0
(blank)170100.0
(blank)170100.0
(blank)170100.0

The number of entries in col a will vary depending on what data I dump into the data tab, so I need the excess formulas and blanks. I just need the values in B and C to stop after one blank and not repeat, ie, show blank as well
