The information in this article applies to:

  • == Microsoft Works for the Macintosh, versions 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 ==

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Works, use the SUM() function to obtain the sum of cells that may contain either text or numeric values.

For example, instead of typing =A1+A2+A3+B5+C2+5, where one or all of the cells may contain text, enter the following:

=SUM(A1,A2,A3,B5,C2,5)

The following is an even simpler method:

=SUM(A1:A3,B5,C2,5)

The SUM() function ignores text values and adds only numeric values. Values passed to the SUM() function can be numbers, individual cell references, ranges, or other functions.

Note: Entering =A1+A2+A3+B5+C2+5 will disregard the cell if any of the specified cells do not contain numeric values.
