I have two spreadsheets where in the first one I enter numbers for the week
throughout the month.  These values go from 1-1000.  Also accepted values for
these cells are text when no collection of values is done or when is excused.
For instance:
           week 1                        week2
c     g     k     o       s       w     aa    ae    ai     am
65  32  210  OPT  EXC    56    LV    10     32    40
I take the values of the 5 days and add them and put the total in another
summary spreadsheet.  The problem arises when the sum of these values picks
up the text and gives me a #value error.  What I want is that whenever it
encounters text in the computations it treats them as zeros thus bypassing
the error and giving me the total desired.  Thanks in advance.

You do not say how you add these values.  Should you say =C5+G5+K5+O5+S5, you
will get a #VALUE error.  However, if you use =SUM(C5,G5,K5,O5,S5), you will
get the correct answer.
