I'm trying to sum two cells. A1+B1, but my first column of data periodically has the error #N/A. How can I sum the two cells, but when #N/A is present, only return the value of B1?

Thank you

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Maybe this:
