Very new to Excel.
Using the following, =SUMPRODUCT(SMALL(F3:F7,{1,2,3})) to get the sum of the theee lowest cells. It works fine but gives a #Num! error if more than two cells in the range are blank or contain text.
I need those cells blank or with text to be ignored and still return the sum of the three lowest numbers.
Thanks
use:
=SUMPRODUCT(SMALL(F3:F7,ROW($ZZ1:INDEX($ZZ:$ZZ,MIN(3,COUNT(F3:F7))))))
Depending on ones version this may need to be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of Enter when exiting edit mode.

I have a range that contains three digits-some text and there are some blank cells therefore receiving below message on image when I enter this formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(--LEFT(C12:C22;3))
Formula works just fine when I only select non-blank cells. Nonetheless, I would like it to contain blank cells as well.
I don't necessarily need sumproduct since I dont have other column, so I'm open to any solution.
You could also use something like:
=SUMPRODUCT(--("0"&LEFT(C12:C22;3)))
Two solutions:
Any Excel-Version:
=SUMPRODUCT(--IF(C12:C22<>"",LEFT(C12:C22,3),0))
Excel 365 using Filter:
=LET(d,C12:C22,
dWithoutEmpty,FILTER(d,d<>""),
SUM(--LEFT(dWithoutEmpty,3)))
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.
I am creating a form that autopopulates data when another form is pasted onto the workbook. I combined numbers from 5 different cells into one cell using this formula
=TEXT(L2,IF(L2=0," ","$000,000"))&"; "&TEXT(L3,IF(L3=0," ","$000,000"))&"; "&TEXT(L4,IF(L4=0," ","$000,000"))&"; "&TEXT(L5,IF(L5=0," ","$000,000"))&"; "&TEXT(L6,IF(L6=0," ","$000,000")).
Sometimes I will need to hide 3 rows, meaning I only need 2 of the numbers combined. The problem is that it still captures the 5 numbers. Is there a way to combine the visible cells only?
If you want to skip the blank cells use TEXTJOIN():
=TEXTJOIN("; ",TRUE,if(l2:l6<>"",TEXT(L2:L6,"$000,000"),""))
Use as an array formula, confirm with Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of Enter when exiting edit mode.
I wish to count the number of " #Div/0" occurrence in excel, where 1/0 results in "#Div/0" value in excel, may I know anyone has experience how to count the number of it?
Thanks.
You can use the ERROR.TYPE function.
For example, the following array-formula, will count the number of #DIV/0! errors in the range D1:D10.
=SUM(IFERROR(IF(ERROR.TYPE(D1:D10)=2,1,0),0))
An array formula must be entered by holding down ctrl + shift while hitting enter. If you do this correctly, Excel will place braces {...} around the formula seen in the formula bar.
Here is an example showing that #DIV/0, when entered as text, is not counted. Note the two changes in D9:D10. One was entered directly and became an error, the other was entered as a text string. Note also the formulas adjacent to D9:D10 indicating text vs error
Use COUNTIF. For example, if you wanted a count of #DIV/0! in the first 10 cells of column A you could use this:
=COUNTIF(A1:A10, "#DIV/0!")
I have the following formula in excel that i want to take the difference between columns V and S and count the number of rows that exceeds some threshold, say 0. It works if all the columns have numbers but if there are errors i receive #VALUE back. How would i change this formula ignore those rows? I've tried using ISNA and ISERROR but have not been able to get them to work.
=SUMPRODUCT(--(V12:V20-S12:S20>U2))
Use this array formula:
=SUM(IFERROR(--(V12:V20-S12:S20>U2),0))
Being an array formula it must be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of enter when exiting edit mode.
