If your formula actually works, then go ahead and mix S/Y. But typically a
formula like this looks for matching number of cells in each part of it. It
may actually work in your setup - without seeing it and testing, I can't be
sure.

I mentioned it because it was not a standard setup like I'm used to seeing.
But I haven't seen everything and it may work just fine as you have it once
you fix the missing ( problem. If it does work then, just ignore my comment
about S/Y.
