Excel Formula

Hi, i am looking for a formula for the attached spreadsheet in column S that will only add columns K through Q IF there is something in column Q   Perhaps it would be easier to only total column R ...

    This formula will keep Cell S4 blank until something is in Q4.

    =IF(Q4<>"", R4/7,"")

    You'll probably want to do something similar in columns T through V, just to keep them blank until S has something in it.

     

    I've generally found in my own sheets, that the  <>"" is a good way to say "not blank"    It could also be turned around, =IF(Q4="","", R4/7), which is then saying IF Q4 is blank, keep S4 blank; otherwise, divide R7 by 7.
