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
