Hey all,
    I've got a column of equations [=IF(B3="S","3","")] that gives me 3's
in each cell.  When I go to AutoSum the column, I get a "0", not the
total of 3's.  This should be really simple.  I want to add up what's
showing in the cells, NOT the formula.

Help?

TIA!

You should write:

=if(B3="S", 3, "")

No quotes around 3.  "3" with quotes is the string 3.  3 without quotes
is the number 3.

DOH!  Got to change the "3" to 3.  It was being read as a string....

Put this in your formula instead

=IF(B3="S",3,""

use either
=IF(B3="S",3,"").........preferred
or
=IF(B3="S","3","")*1
