Hello Origin Users,

I am trying to set column values of column AB in the attached file using a particular function, but no values are being displayed.

Thank you in advance,
Neena

The formula in col(AB) contains H, N, T, Z. if any of those values are missing value or none, the result will be missing value as well.

U can try in another workbook.
Fill column A and B with any number.
In Column C's formula, enter sqrt(A^2+B^2).
Then delete any value in column A or B, corresponding row in C will be --.

Thanks, Snow

Hi Snow,

Yes I understand that. How to get a value displayed there ignoring blank cells?

What should be the calculated?
U may have to put 0 or certain value in the original columns that's used for calculation.

Thanks, Snow

Hi Snow,

Interestingly, this wasn't a problem with values in column AA, although I was calculating sum of columns with blank cells. Can you please give your insight on that?

Thank you,
Neena

It's related to how we handle sum differently, maybe some other functions as well.
E.g. if u change AA to G+M+S+Y, if any of the row is missing value, the sum will be missing value.


Try use sqrt(sum(H^2, N^2, T^2, Z^2)) in AB. U will get value.

Thanks, Snow
