Returning FALSE when adding up a series of cells in which one of the cells has a false
Thank you. From your example, if all cells from B2 to B8 are numbers then I would like the sum of those numbers displayed. If there is a FALSE in anyone of the cells from B2 to B8 then I would like the word FALSE displayed. I don't know if your formula encapsulates what I need, partly because the cells that I would like to reference are not consecutive, i.e. A47+A87+A93+A99+A105+A111.
TIA
When like
=IF(ISLOGICAL(A47)+ISLOGICAL(A87)+ISLOGICAL(A93)+ISLOGICAL(A99)+ISLOGICAL(A105)+ISLOGICAL(A111),FALSE,A47+A87+A93+A99+A105+A111)
Sheet2 attached
That worked! Thank you much Sergei, by the way is there a way to incorporate ISLOGICAL into an IF, AND formula? For instance if A42="a" and a series of cells are logical then out-put the addition or multiplication of a series of cells? I am guessing here but something like this: IF(AND(A42="a", ISLOGICAL(A56)*ISLOGICAL(A62)*ISLOGICAL(A70),FALSE,A56*A62*A70)
TIA
With this formula
=IF((A42="a")*ISLOGICAL(A56)*ISLOGICAL(A62)*ISLOGICAL(A70),FALSE,A56*A62*A70)
you have FALSE if A42 is "a" and each of the cells is TRUE or FALSE. If you have at least one numeric equivalent of TRUE or FALSE in these cells (i.e. non-zero number or zero) formula returns 0 instead of FALSE.
