Default Re: Excel Question

There's an easy but very ugly way to do it. To the right of ever cell you can have the value of the cell be equal to the cell beside it if the cell below it is blank. Then you could sum up that column.

I'm tired and I'm not sure if that made much sense so I'll try again. Say that all of your #s are in column A. You could have B1 = A1 if A2=="". Then you can sum column B which will be all blanks except for the cell in column B that is beside the last number in column A and that cell will have the same value as the one in column A.

Hmmmmm, I wonder if that was any clearer. I'll check again tomorrow and see if you have it figured out. If you think my idea sounds reasonable but can't quite understand what I'm rambling about, let me know.
