    Shorter/Simpler Does Not necessarily mean Better.

    That said, I don't see a shorter or simpler method to do what that formula does.
    So the real question is,
    Does the formula Do what you want it to do ?

    If Yes - Don't Fix it.
    If No - What DO you want it to do?

    Re: Making Formula More Shorter-Simple

    What are you expecting the formula to do? Is it currently working as you want it to work?

    Re: Making Formula More Shorter-Simple

    The only 'extremely minor' improvement I can see would be to use counta instead of countif

    =IF(COUNTA($D$52:$F$52)<3,SUM($D$52:$F$52)>0,SUM($D$52:$F$52)=1)

    But again, it's not necessarily 'better', just shorter (barely).

    Re: Making Formula More Shorter-Simple

    totaly/sum data must/should be answer 100
    e.g.
    20+10+75=105 (WRONG)
    30+30+30=90 (wrong)
    35+35+30=100 (should be)
    40+20+40=100 (should be)
    etc...

    You need (parens) on the sum function, and you do not need the parens on the outside...

    =100=SUM($A$1:$A$3)
