Create a module and paste this in code for a custom 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.
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.
