Default OFFSET() not working within a SUMPRODUCT() when refering to a range in a pivot table

Good Luck

Yes I did, I ignored it. I didn't want to take the time to explain
why it was incorrect.

Whay I want to know is why the 2nd OFFSET will work by itself with a
SUM wrapped around it, but it won't work inside of the sumproduct.

The second OFFSET is correct how I have in entered, but I don't want
to take the time to explain it.

Thanks,

Conan

BUMP

Hello All,

Sorry for bumping, but I'm still looking for a solution to this
issue. Does anyone know what is going on?

Thanks again for everyone's help.

Hello all,

I am having a problem where I'm using 2 OFFSET() functions within a
SUMPRODUCT() function. The first offset is working and refers to a
range of 4 cells immediately above the cell I'm entering the formula
in.

The second OFFSET() is not working. It refers to a range of 4 cells
a calculated number of columns to left of the one I'm entering the
formula in. The calculated column happens to be a Data column in a
pivot table (there is no "Columns" field in the pivot table, so this
column is just a Totals column).

When I step through this formula with the "Evaluate Formula" Formula
Auditing Tool, the second OFFSET() returns {#VALUE!} error. If I
isolate the problematic OFFSET() function and then wrap a SUM()
function around it, it returns the correct value.

Does anyone know what is going on here? Is what I'm trying to do
possible? Is there just some small error in my syntax?

Here are the formulas:

This is the non-working formula:

=IF(AND($AA9<"",$AB9<""),SUMPRODUCT((LoanDetail! $R$2:$R$998=$F9)*(LoanDetail!$E$2:$E$998)*(LoanDet ail!$F$2:$F$998))/$G9,IF(AND($AA9="",$AB9<""),SUMPRODUCT(OFFSET(M9,-$AB9,0,$AB9,1),OFFSET(M9,-$AB9,COLUMN($G9)-COLUMN(),$AB9,1))/$G9,""))

(For those of you who can see it, I've bolded the problematic
OFFSET()function.)

And here is the working formula:
=SUM(OFFSET(M9,-$AB9,COLUMN($G9)-COLUMN(),$AB9,1))

(Notice that it is the exact same OFFSET() isolated then a SUM()
wrapped around it.)




Thanks for any help anyone can provide,

Conan Kelly
