Maybe I've not understood your question but you can certainly sum
several rows in a single column, even if some of the cell contents are
empty. I'm assuming that you using calc.

Not wanting to advise how to suck eggs, the formula is
sum(FIRSTCELL:LASTCELL). You can do more than one column with the same
formula but I don't think that is what your asking.

If you wanted to turn the blank cells into zero, in the next column
(to the left or right) try the following formula:

=IF(ORIGINALCELL<>"";ORIGINALCELL;0)
 
Where the ORIGINALCELL  is the cell in the column that has the
original value. This will copy over the contents of the cell if it is
not blank and put a zero in the cell if it is. All you then need to do
is copy the contents of the column back onto the original using 'paste
as'.

If this does not assist reply to the list...HTH,

Paul
