Hi Guys
I am trying to perform a formula to sum a number of cells e.g. =sum(B5:P5), however if there is no figures in these cells I would like the cell to remain blank. Can anyone help with this please.
Thanks
Stephen

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
Thats great guys, also is there an average formula that ignores the 0 in making an average and also will display if there is no values in the cells to average that it will not display a value in the cell.
Thanks

Code:
=AVERAGE(IF(B5:P5>0,B5:P5))

****you must hold down the cntrol + shift keys when you press enter.

This will put curly brackets {} around the formula, making it an array formula. (There's lots of stuff in the archive here about arrays if you want to learn more.)

Set custom format:
#;#;;
and use formulas as usual
