    Using Aggregate results in #NAME? error

    Hi All,

    I'm trying to produce a total of three non-adjacent cells, all cells are numbers, no negatives BUT for a linked graph to display I have to use NA() option.

    This creates an error if I try and total the three cells (=B10+B21+B32) so (after much web searching) I came across the AGGREGATE formula.

    The formula is (I thought) simply:
    =AGGREGATE( 9,6, B10,B21,B32)

    where 9 = SUM
    6 = Ignore all errors
    B10 = #N/A
    B21 = #N/A
    B32 = 1

    I expected the output to be 1 but instead I get #NAME?

    Can anyone help, please?

    Do you have Excel 2010 or later? If not, AGGREGATE isn't available to you.

    Arg! Excel 2007!

    Is there a workaround available?

    You could use:
    =IFERROR(B10,0)+IFERROR(B21,0)+IFERROR(B32,0)

    well normally you'd produce the na() because you don't want it to plot and use a helper range along the lines of
    =if(a1=0,na(),a1) why not sum the original range
