Formula help

Hi,


I have what is probably a basic question but I'm having a moment and can't figure it out!

 

I want to do a simple sum formula but exclude one column only if it contains a percentage.  Sometimes it will contain a number, which I want the formula to then add.  But ignore it if it's a percentage.

 

Thank you!!

    This formula is fairly good:

    =SUMIF(A1:A10,">=1",A1:A10)

    But it ignores all percentage values except 100% and above.

      it worked ! Thank you

       

      I have something funky going on though - when I enter a formula it calcs on the line no problem but when I pull it down to copy to another line it won't calc out unless I go in to the formula and hit enter.  Any changes in the data I make I have to go to the formula and hit enter again to have it recalc.

       

      Any thoughts?

       

      Thanks again !

        As Willy reply, the calculation option is manual.

        Go to Formulas >> Calculation >> Calculation Options >> Automatic
