need ideas

[JasonLeVan]

I am hear today looking for ideas on how to tackle a idea. below is a layout on a spreadsheet i have, each line is in a cell. what i am searching for is the price. for this one it is 2.89. I have a link to that cell and it shows that price just fine, but in a week or so the sheet format changes up or down a row or to so instead of reading the cell with the price it may be reading the cell above or below. so for now i go through and change the whole sheets reference numbers to the new correct cell. very time consuming, i am trying to think of a idea that will search through a range of those 10 rows to search out that price, but the price also changes.. I have came up with a complex if formula that i think is one its way to working but just want any ideas.
thanks

Not exactly sure how your workbook looks, but this might be a workaround. Assuming your source data is anywhere in the range A1:A10.

B1: =IF(ISNUMBER(A1),A1,"")

Copy down to B10.

B11: =SUM(B1:B10)

This also assumes that the price is a number and it is the only number in the range.

B132: =IF(ISNUMBER(A132),A132,"")

Copy down to B139.

B140: =SUM(B132:B139)
