I need to simplify this formula

[skip2mylew]

I need the following formula to be simpified:

=IF(AND(A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16="",A17=""),"",SUM((A2*C2),(A3*C3),(A4*C4),(A5*C5),(A6*C6),(A7*C7),(A8*C8),(A9*C9),(A10*C10),(A11*C11),(A12*C12),(A13*C13),(A14*C14),(A15*C15),(A16*C16),(A17*C17)))

I have attached an example, so you can see how the formula is being used.

Thanks.

Would you be okay with adding "Total" in D1 and use "=IF(A2="","",C2*A2)" and put "=SUM(D2:D17)" in D19? It isn't simplifying the formula, but it does simplify what you want done.

something like this?

=SUMPRODUCT(A2:A17*C2:C17)

I had thought about that, but there are 49 other columns to the left of the "Product" Column, and that would mean inserting a column next to each one of those columns.

That works. Thanks!
