Ignore Text in Cells Referenced in a formula

G

Guest

I have a formula that sums the the products of two columns, A & B. Sometimes
I need to put a word in these cells instead of numbers and it renders the sum
invalid. Is there a way to get the formula to ignore it when there is text
in the cells?

Thanks!!!

Post your formula.

SUM should ignore text cells in a range.

=((N29*P29)+(N30*P30)+(N31*P31)+(N32*P32)+(N33*P33)+(N34*P34)+(N35*P35)+(N36*P36))/9

There is no range and I think I am SOL on this one unless you all can work
that juju you all do so well....

Thanks.

=SUMPRODUCT(N30:N36,P30:p36)/9
