    Sumproduct using blank cells

    I have a grade file with this formula in B12.

    . When I put what percent I want the grade to count in row 9 the formula in B12 uses it to get the raw score even if there is no grade put in as in I12 in the attached file. How can I get it to work for only students that have an actual score on the work?

    Calc Cumulative Pct

    Looking at your posted workbook....
    I believe the problem is in cell AU9
    Try this:

    That gives me the same raw score for B12 but for all the rest it want work. I think the variable in AU9 has to apply to all students. In the original file I have over 20 students listed.

    Effective Wgt Pcts

    I think I understand....

    IF...The Cumulative Weight Pct can be different for each student (based on
    whether they have a score for a particular item), then try this:

    Copy those formulas down for each student.

    HOWEVER...if the Cumulative Weight Pct is static for ALL students and
    each pct is only used when ANY student has a score for that category,
    then: I'd put Effective Weight Pct formulas under each Weight Pct to
    determine if it's used or not:

    Then you can use your original formulas, but reference $AU$10, instead of $AU$9.

    Does that help?
