I was pretty much concentrating on the right side of the formula, but as Biff
suspected and luchshel confirmed, all of the named ranges are multi-cell
arrays.

Consequently.....How about this regular formula?:

=SUMPRODUCT((AccountID=$J$1)*(BusinessUnitID=$J$2) *(DepartmentID=$C8)*(CHOOSE(MATCH(I3,COA!N3:N14,0) ,AOCT,ANOV,ADEC,AJAN,AFEB,AMAR,AAPR,AMAY,AJUN,AJUL ,AAUG,ASEP)))

Is that something you can work with?

The defined names are arrays. Currently 824 rows.

I guess your assumption is that the defined names: AccountID,
BusinessUnitID and DepartmentID are *single* cells?

Bet'cha an adult beverage they're arrays!

Actually, this regular formula may be easiser:

=IF(AND(AccountID=$J$1,BusinessUnitID=$J$2,Departm entID=$C8),SUM(CHOOSE(MATCH(I3,COA!N3:N14,0),AOCT, ANOV,ADEC,AJAN,AFEB,AMAR,AAPR,AMAY,AJUN,AJUL,AAUG, ASEP)),0)


Is that something you can work with?

What's in COA!Q3:Q14?

I hope someone can help me on this.

I am using a third party software on top of an Excel Workbook. This
software does not support the use of the Excel function INDIRECT.

The following formula works in my Excel model return the expected
value of
201.

={SUM(IF(AccountID=$J$1,IF(BusinessUnitID=$J$2,IF( DepartmentID=$C8,INDIRECT(LOOKUP(I3,COA!N3:N14,COA !Q3:Q14)),0),0),0))}

Unfortunately, when I remove the INDIRECT function from the formula a
value
of ZERO (0) is returned.

So,

={SUM(IF(AccountID=$J$1,IF(BusinessUnitID=$J$2,IF( DepartmentID=$C8,LOOKUP(I3,COA!N3:N14,COA!Q3:Q14), 0),0),0))}

Doesn't work.

I have tried everything I can think of. The problem I have is the
data I
wish to SUM in the SUM(IF formula is a variable column reference
based upon
separate criteria.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
