MS Office Forum / Excel / Worksheet Functions / October 2006Function error
Hi, What is wrong with my formula? Here is the formula I wrote. I placed it in the function field: =SUM(IF(J2:O2=""),"",I2-(J2:O2)) Here is what I am trying to do with the formula -- IF J2 thru O2 are all blank, THEN this cell stays blank ELSE This cell shows the result of I2 minus (sum of J2 thru O2) END IF Cell I2 is amount due, J2 thru O2 are payments made, P2 is balance due. Requestor wants P2 left blank if no payments have been made. If payments have been made, they should be totalled then subtracted from I2, and the results displayed in P2. Thanks! Thanks! Try this: =IF(J2:O2="","",I2-SUM(J2:O2)) > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > Thanks! Hello, Thanks for your help with this. I put it in, and got a #VALUE in that cell. Also, I tried adding dollar amounts and it didn't calculate. Sorry for the bother ... Rosemary > Try this: > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > > > Thanks! Not sure what the calculation should do but try entering it as an array with SHIFT+CTRL+ENTER in place of just ENTER best wishes  SignatureBernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] >> > >> > Thanks! Hello, I think the problem is in the first J2:O2 reference. I write it this way, referencing only one cell in the range ... > =IF(J2="","",I2-SUM(J2:O2)) ... it works. I think I just need to figure out how to write the J2 through O2 reference in the first part of the statement. Thanks!

Great, thanks all. That worked. I have one error in my own logic, however. I want the Balance Due cell (P2) to calculate if ANY ONE OR MORE of the cells J2 through O2 have amounts entered in them. Right now, the way I wrote the logic, it will only calculate of ALL cells (J2 thru O2) have amounts in them. Sorry ... how would I change the formula? Thanks again, Rosemary > =IF(J2:O2="","",I2-SUM(J2:O2)) > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > > > Thanks! =IF( SUMPRODUCT( LEN( J2:O2 ) ) = 0, "", I2 - SUM( J2:O2 ) ) SignatureRegards, Luc.

Hi Rosemary Isn't it simply =IF(COUNT(J2:O)=0,"",I2-SUM(J2:O2)) SignatureRegards Roger Govier > Great, thanks all. That worked. I have one error in my own logic, > however.
