Excelchat Expert 09/07/2018 - 01:32
I understand. I need you help help me to clear a few things.
Excelchat Expert 09/07/2018 - 01:32
First, in first row, it has a blank cell, what should be the result?
Excelchat Expert 09/07/2018 - 01:33
Do you understand my question?
User 09/07/2018 - 01:33
as there is a value in the row, not to consider the blank cell
Excelchat Expert 09/07/2018 - 01:33
Great. That is clear now.
User 09/07/2018 - 01:34
if the row is completely blank, the result cell should also display bank
User 09/07/2018 - 01:34
if there are entries - only "zero" then result cell shall display "zero"
Excelchat Expert 09/07/2018 - 01:34
Secondly, the range is always consistent or it may vary? For example, in the given example, there are five cells in the range.
Excelchat Expert 09/07/2018 - 01:35
I got it. "if there are entries - only "zero" then result cell shall display "zero""
User 09/07/2018 - 01:35
range is consistent with 10 horizontal cells
User 09/07/2018 - 01:35
