In the SUMIF function I need to be able to differentiate between cells with the following content:
- 0, as number or text
- 00, necessarily as text
- 000, also text
- Completely BLANK, as after having pressed DELETE
- BLANK, but with an apostrophe (')
As it is now the SUMIF (and probably also all the other functions, COUNTIF, VLOOKUP, etc.) acts as follows:
- Looking up a 0, 00, 000, etc. counts only cells contaning zeros, both 0, 00, 000, etc., and it does so regardless of the number of zeros
- Looking up a completely BLANK value does the same; i.e. it does not count the really blank cells
- Looking up a BLANK value with apostrophe counts all the blank cells - with or without apostrophe - but not the zeros
Is there a solution to this?
