Sum if not blank

I am trying to sum across multiple columns but have it show blank if the columns do not have values. Each of the columns has a formula in them to calculate a number. However, I want the sum column to show blank instead of 0 if all of the other columns are blank.

My formula right now is =SUMIF([Question 1 Score]@row:[Question 5 Score]@row, <>"", [Question 1 Score]@row:[Question 5 Score]@row) which is still giving me a 0 when all columns are blank.

How do I get it to show blank when the other columns are blank?

Try something like this...

=IF(SUM([Question 1 Score]@row:[Question 5 Score]@row) > 0, SUM([Question 1 Score]@row:[Question 5 Score]@row))

This solution is assuming there will be no negative numbers. There is a solution that would take negatives into account though. If you need it, let me know.

That works to show the blank but then if all the scores are 0, it is still showing blank instead of 0.

Ok. Give this a whirl:

=IF(COUNTIFS([Question 1 Score]@row:[Question 5 Score]@row, ISNUMBER(@cell)) > 0, SUM([Question 1 Score]@row:[Question 5 Score]@row))
