Sum of non-numeric data on multiple sheets

Hello all,
I'm using a 3D-reference to *sum* specific cells on multiple sheets.
Problem is some cells don't have numeric data in them. Is there a way to
skip non-numeric cells so that I don't get the dreaded #VALUE?

TY

I put 20 in A1 of Sheet2, "text" in A1 of Sheet3, and 30 in A1 of
Sheet4, and this formula in A1 of Sheet1:

=SUM(Sheet2:Sheet4!A1)

gave me the answer of 50. SUM ignores text entries.

Hope this helps.

Yep... thanks for the help... I just figured that out. I was trying to '+'
each reference together, and it was blowing up. SUM(sheet1:Sheet8!A1) works
perfectly! Thanks again,

Jeff
