Mike,


Can you get your formula to work? The arrays in a SUMPRODUCT() must be of
the same dimensions otherwise some of the elements will not have anything to
multiply. I get #VALUE! from your formula.

Which is exactly what the formula does.
In sheet 3 cell B1 to M1 are the months Jan- December
In column A starting in A2 are as many currencies as you want
At the intersect of these is the exchange rate

The formula

=SUMPRODUCT((Sheet3!B1:M1=B4)*(Sheet3!A2:A23=C4)*( Sheet3!B2:M23))

looks in B1 to M1 and find a match for B4
looks in A2 to A23 and find a match for C4
and returns the value of the cell at the intersect

The only caveat is that if your table extends to a second year then for
date
you will have to include Jan 2008 and Jan 2009 etc.

Hi,

In this instance the table of exc rates and months is laid out like
this
Col A Col B Col C Col D Col E Etc
jan feb mar apr etc
usd 1 2 1.5 1.2
euro 3 4 1.6 1.7
etc

and the formula in D4 is
=SUMPRODUCT((Sheet3!B1:M1=B4)*(Sheet3!A2:A23=C4)*( Sheet3!B2:M23))
