I have data in Cells B2:ZZ2
and I am hiding several of the cells. I want a way to SUM()
the data in the visible cells only. I have tried SUM()
and SUBTOTAL(109)
however, I am not getting the sum I am after. If you take a look at image 1, it shows I get all 0 returned from my formula. And I show my formula in the address bar. Image 2 shows my desired output. What formula can I use to get my desired ouput?
It sounds like the "numbers" you want to sum may actually be text, which Excel does not see as numbers and you will get 0. Try running a text to columns on the cells containing the data, even though there is nothing to split to another column. Also, subtotal only excludes hidden rows for some reason, not columns. I am not sure why they designed it that way, but they did. I found some VBA to create a customer UDF, here: link if that helps you at all.
