    Add nth column

    Maybe this illustration will help you.

    Example:

    E25: 30

    F25: empty

    G25: Instructor

    H25: 20

     

    Errors that can occur: If cell G25 is empty, the formula works, if G25 contains the text "Instructor", the formula returns the error #VALUE!

     

    array formula:

    =SUM(IF((RES(COLUMN(E25:BZ25),3)=2)*(ISNUMBER(E25:BZ25)),E25:BZ25))

    Please finish with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.

     

    without termination as an array formula:

         =SUMPRODUCT((REST(COLUMN(E25:BZ25);3)=2)*1;E25:BZ25)

     

     

    Hope I was able to help you with this info.
