I currently have this formula in a cell. It requires people to enter x for the calculation to take place. How can I change it so it will calculate as long as any character is entered into the cell?


=SUMPRODUCT(--(Q7:T7="x"),CHOOSE({1,2,3,4},E7,H7,K7,N7))

TY in advance

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
Replace ="x" with <>"" instead.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Q7:T7<>""),CHOOSE({1,2,3,4},E7,H7,K7,N7))
