Default Tricky array problem….


I have a (small) problem which I am unable to solve. Perhaps some bright
wizard has an idea.

I would like to multiply two arrays located in equal sized rows but
invert one first, i.e. if the values a A, B, C and X, Y, Z, I want
AZ+BY+CX.

e.g. if the ranges are 1,2,3 and 1,2,3, my answer should be 10.

My ranges are dynamic so could become much larger than 3 elements.

I tried to invert one of the arrays using the array formula:

=OFFSET(Mult,0,COLUMNS(Mult)-1+(MIN(COLUMN(Mult))-COLUMN(Mult)))

where Mult is the array field (am quite proud of this!!!). If I use F9,
this formula does invert the array. However, as soon as I try to use
this in a larger formula to complete the multiplication, I get #Value!
:

=SUM(OFFSET(Mult,0,COLUMNS(Mult)-1+(MIN(COLUMN(Mult))-COLUMN(Mult)))*CinList)

where CinList is the other array.

Any ideas much appreciated....
