    unused dropdown cells causing #VALUE! error in column totals

    Hello everyone! 1st post

    I have a drop down pulling information to autofill cells. If all the drop downs are full I don't have the Autosum issue at the total line.

    I didnt know if there was an exception I could use instead of deleting the lines that have the #VALUE! error to the totals will auto sum if all the drop downs are not used.

    Basically I want the #value! error to go away and not hinder the column totals if possible

    Thanks in advance!

    Change your formula in G3 to this:

    =IF(B3="","",ROUNDUP(D3/$B$1*B3,-1))

    and copy down to row 25. Make a similar change to J3:

    =IF(B3="","",E3*B3)

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    I notice, in columns D,E,and F, you are using an IF function to eliminate this same error:

    Why don't you do the same thing in columns G and J?

    Perfect

    I must be quite the novice since it was solved so quickly!

    Thanks Pete!
