Hello All,
I wanna add six numbers in a column. There will be a maximum of nine numbers to choose what to add from. Before, I used the =Sum(Small(..... Function.

But now I want to add them by taking the first four numbers then look for the two smallest numbers from the remaining five numbers.

And here too, with the first four numbers, I am adding only those that are not zero or blank.

That's when one of the first four numbers is zero or blank then add the three left and add the next three smallest numbers from the five numbers left.

Look at what I have below here:
Numbers to add
2
5
8
1
4
4
6
5
7

So from the numbers , after choosing the first four, choose the two 4s since there are the two smallest numbers left. Then add them.


When some of the first four is blank or zero
Numbers to add
2

8
1
4
4
6
5
7

Since the second number is blank, choose the three left and then choose 4, 4, 5 from them and add to the other three.

I hope my expectations are clear enough.

Thanks for your attention
Kelly
