What formula
Ive been tasked with determining who the top 8 riders are in points. I have the spreadsheet with the points from the season, but I do not how how to create a formula to find the total overall points a rider has because some have riden in multiple divisions. Anyone able to help?
This failure to recognise that cells containing an empty string are to be considered as blank is a long-standing 'feature' of Excel. Riny_van_Eekelen 's solution of forcing #N/A errors is a standard for traditional spreadsheets but with dynamic arrays other solutions are possible. In particular
= FILTER(SCAN(, admissions, SUM), admissions) Insider only = SCAN(, TRIMRANGE(admissions), SUM)
will both create truncated output datasets that work well with charts and create an improved tabular presentation.

momtomari You would want to put all the results in on single table with three columns (Division, Rider, Total Points). No empty rows or columns. Then you can create a pivot table and sort it as you like. The attached workbook contains an example in the tab "Data and PT".
