Workaround for “Formula omits adjacent cells”

The error you are getting means that there are cells near the ones in your formula that are of a similar format and Excel thinks that you might have missed them by accident. For example, if you had

    A
1 87
2 76
3 109
4 65

then the formula

=SUM(A1:A3)

would give a similar error. So, without seeing your source data, it is difficult to answer your question. I would recommend updating the formula as it suggests and then seeing if it then includes all the cells you want. If it doesn’t, just undo and ignore the error.
