Formulas and Functions
Hello, can someone please help me with the proper formula for the below scenario?
I used a Tick symbol as the value. I am tracking student attendance.
I would like to know the total Sum for each row. Each row represents a student.
For example, there are 31 Tick symbols on row 9 (columns A thru Y).
Each Tick symbol represents $5.00 per day.
I have tried multiple formulas. The below is the latest formula I tried.
=SUM(LEN(A9:Y9*5))

Hi
Attached is a possible solution - you count the blanks (using the COUNTBLANK function) rather than the tick symbols and then use the number for the calculation.
hope this helps.

- Gmema2uCopper ContributorHi peteryac60, another Member shared the below formula with me which worked. Yeah. Thanks for your reply.
Here is the formula: =SUMPRODUCT(LEN(A9:Y9))*5

Gmema2u Try this:
=SUM(LEN(A9:Y9)*5)Not sure though why you chose to use tick marks. Why not just a number 1. So much easier to calculate with numbers.
