I'd recommend using array formulas with function SUM as sum of products, where first member of product is cell value, second member result of condition (0 or 1). Then by summing values, that do not satisfy condition, are 0. If you have acces to OpenOffice.org Calc's manual, there are examples under SUM function, maybe they need to be modified somehow... ain _______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list
