    IF formula that gets #VALUE!

    Being abit new at this I am wondeing why the formula below works out but returns a #VALUE! message insted of the numeric answer?
    What I am trying to do is post a "0" in M15 if there is no value in M11:M13 to subtract from the sum contained in K5.
    Function argument shows correct result.

    =IF(SUM(M11:M13 <1),0,SUM(K5-M14)), with numbers only in those cells.

    Abit of help would be appreciated, Thanks

    Hi

    This is an Array Formula.

    Close it not just with Enter, but using Control+Shifr+Enter, all together.

    Sorry, using this, do not give corect rsult, if M11:M13, is 0.

    So, pls use This formula, just with Enter.

    =IF(SUM(M11:M13) <1;0;SUM(K5-M14))

    or maybe

    =IF(COUNTA(M11:M13)=0,0,K5-SUM(M11:M13))
    I think people forget the word "THANK YOU!!!!" Do you still know it???

    There is a little star ( ADD REPUTATION ) below those person who helped you. Click it to say your "PRIVATE APPRECIATION TO THEIR EFFORT ON THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS "

    Regards,
