I'm trying to take the sum of numbers that are formatted as strings in Excel without firstly reformatting them as numbers manually, on row I.
How is this done?
My best attempt so far is
=VALUE(SUM(I:I))
But does not work :(
Any ideas?
One option:
=SUMPRODUCT(IFERROR(--I1:I1000,0))
Depending on your version of Excel, may need confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
Adjust the range as necessary.
Note: =SUM(IFERROR(--I1:I1000,0)) is a valid (and shorter!) option.
Maybe this can help. Typed some words and numbers mixed, and formatted all those cells as text.
My formula in C13 is an array formula:
=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(VALUE(A1:A10))=TRUE;VALUE(A1:A10)))
Because it's an array formula, it must be entered with CTRL+ENTER+SHIFT
IMPORTANT: Sometimes when referencing cells formatted as text in a formula, the active cell gets formatted to text. So make sure the cell contanining the formula (in my image, C13) is formatted as Standard.

My NodeJS program populates an excel formula in a cell which in turn calculates the sum of all the numbers in a column. The numbers are stored as text in the cells.
The formula used is : =SUM(0+(I5:I19999)).
All the numbers are present in column 'I' but not necessarily till 19999th row (few may be blank).
However, the result of this formula is always #VALUE!.
I can't seem to find the issue in this.
Any help in this issue is really appreciated.
Thanks!
Formula you are using to add numbers stored as text i.e. =SUM(0+(I5:I19999)) is an array formula and needs to be committed by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
If you want non-array formula you can use
=SUMPRODUCT((I5:I19999)*1)
the value in the cell must be stored as a number because sum works on numbers only if you give text then it will display #VALUE.
you can store value as numbers using numformat('0.00').you can get more info from this page https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Number-format-codes-5026bbd6-04bc-48cd-bf33-80f18b4eae68.if you are reading then you have to convert it.
Could you please let me know which package(exceljs,Node-xlsx) are you using so that i can send you the code require?
Above picture is just a simple Files that I created, My original file is complicated and has a range of numbers in Criteria field.
NOTE: I just want only one Formula to get final Answers, not many Formulas then sum again those lines. (Using EXCEL)
Thanks and appriciate
p/s: Sorry for my rip English
Your formula in the upper right is close. You can use:
=SUM(SUMIF(C3:C23,K5:K10,D3:D23))
However, this in an array formula, so you must confirm this formula with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER for it to work properly
And if you don't want to have a range that contains your criteria, you can list it right in the formula like this:
=SUM(SUMIF(C3:C23,{20,22,24,25,26,28},D3:D23))
(Same thing - must confirm with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER)
I have a VLOOKUP (actually an INDEX-MATCH) in an Excel cell.
This resolves ok but the resulting value has a leading zero, which Excel removes.
The standard solution (according to Google) is to format the cell as text, but if I do that the cell displays the formula instead of resolving it.
What format should I use?
This is an example of the formula (if it makes a difference):
=MID(INDEX('$save'!M23:M1021,MATCH(B70,'$save'!X23:X1021,0),1),2,99)
Thanks
For anyone else who is interested, this is how I solved it.
I needed to add the TEXT function into the formula:
=MID(TEXT(INDEX('$save'!M23:M1021,MATCH(B70,'$save'!X23:X1021,0),1),""),2,99)
I want to use the Index formula to list data in my excel sheet.
I want to list the data of the column A that contains "finished" in the corresponding cells in column E.
Currently I'm using the following formula:
=INDEX(IMs!A:A;MATCH("finished";IMs!E:E;0))
The problem is, only the first value appears. I want to list ALL of them.
Is it possible with the vlookup formula?
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards,
Vanessa
First enter this formula in B1:
=COUNTIF(IMs!$E:$E,"Finished")
Then enter this array formula** in your first cell of choice:
=IF(ROWS($1:1)>$B$1,"",INDEX(IMs!$A$1:$A$1000,SMALL(IF(IMs!$E$1:$E$1000="finished",ROW(IMs!$E$1:$E$1000)-MIN(ROW(IMs!$E$1:$E$1000))+1),ROWS($1:1))))
Copy this formula down (though not the one in C1) until you start to get blanks for the results.
If the upper row reference that I chose (1000) is not sufficiently high, then change it as required. Note, however, that since this is an array formula, it is not recommended that you make this upper bound too high (and certainly don't reference entire columns!), since this will have a significantly detrimental effect on spreadsheet performance.
From your post, it also appears that you are using a version of Excel in which the argument separator in formulas is not the comma but the semi-colon. If this is indeed the case then you will need to make the necessary amendments to the formulas I provided.

**Array formulas are not entered in the same way as 'standard' formulas. Instead of pressing just ENTER, you first hold down CTRL and SHIFT, and only then press ENTER. If you've done it correctly, you'll notice Excel puts curly brackets {} around the formula (though do not attempt to manually insert these yourself).
I have an Excel file with over 5k+ rows and numbers.
I want to check these 5k+ numbers to see whether they have any "problems" within them (not errors such as #DIV/0, etc, those have already been accounted for).
So for example...a problem would be having a space in front of a number, causing that number to not be added to the sum of all numbers, etc... not logical errors, but more input errors. iserror would not work in this case, as it isn't a logical error.
Is there a way to do this automatically? Thanks!
Suppose all your numbers are in column A, starting at A1.
You could then in B1 put in the formula =Value(A1) and drag it down.
Then, just filter column B for #VALUE - That will give you all the numbers from column A that aren't seen by Excel as numeric.
Hope this helps!
On testing, Value() does its best to convert a value to a number, ignoring initial spaces or an apostrophe. I might use =ISNUMBER() in preference.
If you highlight the cells, say A2 downwards, you can create a Conditional Formatting, New Rule, Use a Formula, and enter =ISNUMBER(A2); choose some formatting for these cells.
