The individual columns of MyRange could be referenced with Index.
=Index(MyRange,0,1)
would return the first column. But that's for the sake of academics, it may
be better to create a separate dynamic named range for each column needed.
Also, Offset is a volatile function. I think it would help to avoid having
a lot of formulae dependent on a volatile function. Maybe see if this offers
any improvement:
=JobLogEntry!$A$2:INDEX(JobLogEntry!$T:$T,MATCH(1E +306,JobLogEntry!$A:$A,1)*)
to define MyRange and something similar for each column needed for
sumproduct calculations.

Ken,
SUMPRODUCT will work with dynamic range names. It looks like your MyRange
is the whole data table. That's the problem. You'll have to create seperate
dynamic range names for each field you want to use in the SUMPRODUCT calc.
=SUMPRODUCT(--(range1=x),(range2),(range3)) or whatever your calc looks
like. Range1, Range2 and Range 3 would each be one column wide.

Hi Group!
I'm back again, trying to solve a problem that Don Guillett so
correctly pointed out that needs to be addressed, and I thank you for
that Don!
I have a database that dynamically updates from log entries, which
in turn updates my charts, and they are working extremely well. The
problem is that I'm using SUMPRODUCT in every cell in my daily
database, and that is causing the log entries to become slower to
enter because the database recalculates on every entry, and my formula
includes far too many cells in that calculation. I have entered a
dynamic named range "MyRange" that correctly includes only the rows
that are populated, but I haven't been able to include that named
range into the calculations for SUMPRODUCT. I have screenshots here to
illustrate how everything is laid out:

Can that named range be used in the formula to limit how many
calculations that Excel has to do? Any advice is greatly
appreciated...I've beat my head against the wall for a couple of weeks
trying different tips that I've seen in the groups, but can't get it
to work. Thanks very much in advance....

JMB and Jim....Thanks to both of you for your reply! I am setting up a
seperate named range for each of the 4 columns that I need....2 of
them are text, COL D and COL Q, the other 2 are dates, COL I and COL
K....the formula you suggested works well with a new MyRange, and for
COL I, which I named DateRcvd, and for COL K, which I named
DateSent....but the named ranges for the other 2, ValveType, and
Completion, do not work because they are text only columns....if I
type in random numbers as an experiment, they work, but I need for
them to remain as text columns...what am I doing wrong????...Thanks
again for all your help!
