<div>
Why it is returning #VALUE! error? What is there in F31 and F39?
</div>


<div>
in F39 when there are no values its causing this VALUE error, but if i have values in F39 then there is no problem.<br />
sometimes there will &amp;&nbsp;other times there wont be values in F39.
</div>


<div>
Try changing your formula to this:<br><pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-43296198-1"><span>=IF(F31="","",F31+F39)</span>
</code></pre>Make sure you don't have text in F31 or F39, that will give you a value error.<br><br>Paul

For clarification, no apparent difference between the three options but:<br><br>1) F31+F39 &nbsp;- Excel won't recognise and ignore if either of the values is text,<br>2) SUM(F31+F39) - Although SUM recognises and ignores text values, the use of the + creates a single value within the SUM which creates an error when either is text as per above, SUM then has a single value to sum.<br>3) SUM(F31,F39) - SUM recognises each item as a separate value and can ignore the text values if/when necessary.<br><br><br>
