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

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
Replace ="x" with <>"" instead.

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