SUMIF excluding #N/A

[Scott A]

I am trying to add different cells located in different worksheets (tabs)
within the same workbook. I know I can use =SUMIF(A1:A5,â€<>#N/Aâ€) without
error.

The problem I am having is trying to add different cells not grouped
together while using SUMIF. Example, =SUMIF(A1+A3+B5+C20, â€<>#N/Aâ€). If B5
=#N/A for instance, then my SUMIF will not work.

Any solutions?

Thank you in advance for help.

I know it looks odd, but this appears to work:

=SUMIF(A1,"<>#N/A") + SUMIF(A3,"<>#N/A") + SUMIF(B5,"<>#N/A") +
SUMIF(C20,"<>#N/A")

If the only cells with #N/A are one of the cells you are referencing then
you could do something like this

=SUMIF(A2:B9,"<>#N/A")-SUM(A3,A5,A6,A8,B2:B9)

Note these cell addresses are just a sample.

Thank you for the suggestion. I understand your recommnedation, but the
problem I run into is number of characters in the formula.

I provided an abreviated version. In reality, I need to sum approx 20 cells
over about 9 worksheets. Not all of the cells are in the same cell reference
location. For the time, I am using a hidden sheet to capture the data
grouped together and using a SUMIF from that. I am just trying to find a
cleaner way.

I appreciate any suggestions.
