arrow blue right bubbleSum values without or with n/a in Excel

In this section, we will show you two formulas of summing values without or with n/a in Excel. Supposing you have a range of data as below screenshot shown. For summing all values without or with n/a, please do as follows.

1. Select a blank cell, copy and paste the one of the below formulas into the Formula Bar:Formulas:

A: Sum without #n/a: =SUMIF(A2:C6,"<>#n/a") + Enter key

B: Sum with #n/a: =SUM(IF(ISNA(A2:C6),0,A2:C6)) + Ctrl + Shift + Enter keys together.

Notes:

1. A2:C6 is the range you will sum. You can change it as you need.

2. When using the first formula, all n/a cells in the range won’t be included in the summing, while using the second one, all n/a cells are included in the summing. But these two formulas will get the same summing result.

You can see the summing result as below screenshot shown.

How to some random cells, A2, B2, C3, D4, if in this some cell value contain #N/A
This comment was minimized by the moderator on the site
Hi Vinay,
You can apply the following formula to solve this problem.
=AGGREGATE(9,6, A2,B2,C3,D4)
In the formula, the number 9 tells Excel to use the SUM function.
And the number 6 tells Excel to ignore the error values.
