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
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Replace ="x" with <>"" instead.

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