Default Using the OFFSET function within SUMXMY2

Thank You!! It works!!

Typical Microsoft Bug By Design.

Use
=SUMXMY2(OFFSET($G$2,$T$3-SUM(ROW($G$2)),0,Number_of_Periods,1),OFFSET($H$2, $U$3-SUM(ROW($H$2)),0,Number_of_Periods,1))

The reason your version is not working is because ROW($G$2) and ROW($H$2)
are being returned as an ARRAY
i.e. instead of returning 2 as ins SUMSQ it is being returned as {2}... You
can see this if you evaluate the formula...

I have wrapped them in SUM() so that you get a scalar...

Hi,

I have the following functions working perfectly well:
=SUMSQ(OFFSET($G$2,$T$3-ROW($G$2),0,Number_of_Periods,1))
I also have the following working well:
=SUMSQ(OFFSET($H$2,$T$3-ROW($H$2),0,Number_of_Periods,1))
But the following function returns the #NUM! error:
=SUMXMY2(OFFSET($G$2,$T$3-ROW($G$2),0,Number_of_Periods,1),OFFSET($H$2,$T$3-ROW($H$2),0,Number_of_Periods,1))
I tried other functions that operate on two dynamic range parameters and
they also don't work.
I tried in Excel 2003 and Excel 2007.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
