Need Help modifying a Formula

[caribou48]

Hello all ,

I have a rather complex forumula that was from a pre-existing sheet. I did not create the sheet. But it works very well.
Basically this formula counts all the Letters in a row I d like to modify it so it sums any numbers, and remove the weekday restriction
(We now have people on Saturday shifts)

	01	02	03	04	05	06	07	08	09	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20	21	22	23	24	25	26	27	28	29	30	31	Leave
Name	Fri	Sat	Sun	Mon	Tue	Wed	Thu	Fri	Sat	Sun	Mon	Tue	Wed	Thu	Fri	Sat	Sun	Mon	Tue	Wed	Thu	Fri	Sat	Sun	Mon	Tue	Wed	Thu	Fri	Sat	Sun

Formula is in the LEAVE column
ATM it could count the letters we use to trace Holidays - H for Holiday
But we want to sum these now as we are tracking by hours . 7.5

=SUM(--NOT(ISNUMBER(IF(WEEKDAY(DATE($A$7,$A$8,OFFSET($A$10,0,31*($A$8-1)+1,1,31)),2)<=5,OFFSET(A13,0,31*($A$8-1)+1,1,31),0)))*--NOT(ISNUMBER(MATCH(DATE($A$7,$A$8,OFFSET($A$10,0,31*($A$8-1)+1,1,31)),Holidays!$B$2:$B$12,0))))+COUNT(OFFSET($A$10,0,31*($A$8-1)+1,1,31))-31


The sheets uses a form control scroll bar to slide from month to month,
and increase the month number in A8 , A7 contains the year.
The days and days of the week are then populated by another formula and a macro hids the relevant colums, Its a wonderfull sheet. But the formula is just a little to complex for me to edit

Hi,

With the risk of perhaps oversimplifying your question.

If you remove the weekday restriction from the old formula and you want the new formula to sum numbers; wouldn't those changes convert the old formula to just a regular SUM formula on the particular row.

Hi All to help out here is a copy of the sheet with the macro removed

It would be difficult to de-chipher an existing formula and modify it without knowing the background

It would be better to post some sample data and expected result, along with the logic, to help us understand the problem and help you
