Subject: Formulas and empty number fields
Dear all

I'm trying to calculate a very simple sum of values stored in several
Number columns, so i've created and Formula column. The result is
properly calculated when all the Number columns have a value, but if
any of them is empy then I get '*****' as result.

For example:

Formula = Number1 + Number2

So..

10 + 12 = 22 (ok)
10 + (blank) = ***** (not ok for me)
10 + 0 = 10 (ok, but i don't want to fill all the blank fields with
zeros)

Is this a normal behaviour? Is there any workaround to get the total
sum working fine with blank fields?

Thanks in advance and we keep in touch!

Hi Eduardo,

I'm afraid the only way to avoid the asterisks is to fill the empty cells
with zeroes, since Fusion Tables can not parse blank cells as numbers.

Sincerely,
Kathryn
