Sum total of cells with references
Posted by Lori on January 14, 2001 5:52 PM
I am trying to get a grand total for a column that has references in every cell similar to
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP("634001",ZipTotal!A$2:B$60,2,0)),"",(VLOOKUP("63401",ZipTotal!A$2:B$60,2,0))).
The column that returns a result from worksheet ZipTotal is formated as a number (referenced columns are in text form and sorted). The Vlookup fields work but I cannot use the sum command.
Can anyone help?

What does the SUM function return?

Each referenced cell returns the total number of applicants per zip codes for a month. I would like the sum to return the total of all zip codes for the month and another sum to return the total zip codes that span multiple months. The normal sum functions (SUM, SUMIF, COUNTIF) don't seem to work. Example =SUM(N8:N160)

: =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP("634001",ZipTotal!A$2:B$60,2,0)),"",(VLOOKUP("63401",ZipTotal!A$2:B$60,2,0))).
What does =SUM(N8:N160) return?
What is the formatting of the cells that contain vlookup-formulas?

They are formatted in text and sorted.

I've also tried having all columns including the results in ZipTotal columns as text but won't total. If I set them all to a number format then the vlookup won't work correctly....right?
