OK, here is an example: The whole idea is to prevent a data entry
spreadsheet having a bunch of zeroes in all the totalizing columns. Cells
K1,L1 and K2,L2 have been "Clear Contents", Cell M3 the totalizer cell is
blank. Put a 1 in K1 and the #Value error appears in M3
Cell M1: =
Hey,
soemthing i would use, simple and easy, if its fits :)
simply take another (any) column with the formula of Val , for example:
C1D1

I have a bunch of cells that may or may not have numbers in them.
Kind of like this: Sum(e35:e44) , but with no number in e44, I get the
#Value error. What should be in a "empty" cell that would allow excel
to treat it as zero but not have a bunch of zeroes all over the
worksheet? Isnumber() wo
