My SUMIFS formula criteria is based on a cell (say A1) that is data validated by list and changed via selection by user. If cell has data inside text or number by selection from drop down list, SUMIFS formula is considering that data as criteria to calculate the related sum. If criteria cell is left blank, I want formula to sum everything without any condition. My problem here; in criteria field of SUMIFS formula, I typed if condition like; SUMIFS(sum-range,criteria_range,IF(A1<>"",A1,"*"))
but in this case excel considers only text values and do not include cells containing number. Briefly, if nothing selected in A1, I want SUMIFS formula to sum everything without any condition, numbers, texts and even blank cells. How can we proceed to do that?
EDIT: Here an example for data and formula, what is expected is actually to disable criteria if one of selection is blank on left. Harun's suggestion works but if there is blank cell in criteria range, then in this case it won't consider those values in sum. For instance, if we select from left Phone/smart/touch, then how can we get "2" as output no matter what is in cri_range4 cells? Thanks
