Hello All, I have an excel file in which I am adding the numbers of a column, but sometimes the column I am summing may have text in one of the cells instead of a number, when this occurs I want the 'sum formula cell' to show "error".
Thanks

How do I not get the sum of a column when it contains text?
Create a module and paste this in code for a custom function:
Public Function newsum(rng As Range) As Variant
Dim t As Variant
Dim c As Range
For Each c In rng
If Not IsNumeric(c.Value) Or c.Value = "" Then
Err = True
Exit For
End If
t = t + c.Value
Next
If Err Then
newsum = "Error"
Else
newsum = t
End If
End Function
In Excel, use it by entering in the cell:
=newsum(A2:A20)
It will return "Error" whenever a non-numeric value or a blank field is in the range otherwise the total is displayed.
