M mphell0 Mar 10, 2006 #2 Are the numbers non-contiguous? If they are all together you can put: =SUM(A1:A37) If they are non-contiguous and you are using the form =SUM(number1,number2,...,number37) it will stop you at 30 numbers. The way around that is to either put a plus sign in between each one [=number1+number2+number3...] or break it up into two different SUMs [=SUM(number1,number2,...,number30)+SUM(number31,number32...)]

G Guest Mar 10, 2006 #4 If the numbers are in consecutive cells, you can group them with the colon and only have to type the first and last cell in the series.......such as =SUM(A1,B5,C13:C23,A25,H27:K27,....ETC ETC) hth Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3

S stevientx Mar 10, 2006 #5 Non-contiguous. Did the multiple sums and it worked like a charm. Thanks so much for your help.
N Niek Otten Mar 10, 2006 #6 And if you enclose a group of cells in parens, it counts as one (for this function, not for all!) =SUM((a1,a3,a5,a7,a9),(a11,a13,a15,a17)) has two arguments, not 9. The maximum number of arguments for any function in Excel is 30.
