In this tutorial, learn how to set up a dynamic formula in Excel that calculates a total only when all values are entered in a specified cell range. This technique will help you maintain accuracy in your spreadsheets.
=IF(AND(COUNT(B2:B16)=COUNTA(B2:B16),COUNTBLANK(B2:B16)=0),SUM(B2:B16),"Fill with numbers") Thank you for your suggestion! The formula you provided is indeed a great improvement. By using AND along with COUNT and COUNTA, it ensures that all cells contain numeric values and that none are blank. This adds an extra layer of validation, making it even more robust. I appreciate your input and will consider including it in future tutorials. Keep the ideas coming!
a much better improvement: =IF(AND(COUNT(A1:A10)=COUNTA(A1:A10);COUNTBLANK(A1:A10)=0);SUM(A1:A10);"Fill with numbers")
=IF(AND(COUNT(B2:B16)=COUNTA(B2:B16),COUNTBLANK(B2:B16)=0),SUM(B2:B16),"Fill with numbers")
