Hi
then you may describe in detail (e.g. together with example data) what
you're trying to evaluate. Otherwise quite difficult to tell from just this
formula without knowing the cell values and what currently does not work for
you

users insist on being able to do "offline" adjustments ( the + L14 in the EG
below) that pivot tables cannot handle

Hi All

I had to create a report in Excel that was dynamic and had no VBA.

The source for the report is an Excel database 8000 rows long and 9
columns
wide.

The only way i could think of to do the report was to use Array formulas.

I tried sumproduct but could not successfully embed if formulas in the
sumproduct formula

I have over 1000 of these array formulas

the report works but take in excess of 20 minutes to open / do a recalc.

I have been told this is too long but what else can i use??

here is an EG of one of the formulas

=-SUM(IF($B8="",(MORMTD.xls!$Z$2:$Z$12000=$B8),(MORM TD.xls!$D$2:$D$12000=$B8))*IF($B9="",(MORMTD.xls!$ Z$2:$Z$12000=$B9),(MORMTD.xls!$G$2:$G$12000=$B9))* IF($B5="",(MORMTD.xls!$Z$2:$Z$12000=$B5),(MORMTD.x ls!$A$2:$A$12000=$B5))*(MORMTD.xls!$B$2:$B$12000=" 0005")*(MORMTD.xls!$F$2:$F$12000=B12)*IF($B7="",(M ORMTD.xls!$Z$2:$Z$12000=$B7),(LEFT(MORMTD.xls!$E$2 :$E$12000,LEN($B7))=$B7))*IF($B6="",(MORMTD.xls!$Z $2:$Z$12000=$B6),(MORMTD.xls!$C$2:$C$12000=$B6))*M ORMTD.xls!$I$2:$I$12000)+L14
