Dotan,

Would this help :

{=sum(if(F2:F1388 <> "Value";G2:G1388;0))}

The "{" and "}" are not typed in - they are inserted automatically by 
Calc when you press a "Shift Control Enter".  What this does is checks 
if the Array F2:F1388 does not contains "Value".  If true (i.e., it 
does not contain Value) then, it supplies the corresponding cell from 
the array G2:G1388 to the sum() function.  Otherwise, it supplies the 
value of Zero to the sum() function. 

Perhaps you may want to look for "Array Functions" in the Calc help 
section ?
