What's blank? The only things that will cause #N/A errors is if Kimberlee Madsen can't be found or the headers Week xx can't be found or you have #N/A errors in the table itself.

Formula Too Long Issue
From your original formula I have assumed you want 4 weeks worth of data: if
so, try: =SUMPRODUCT((Detail_Pivot!$A$27:$A$50=$A$1)*(OFFSE T(Detail_Pivot!$B$27,0,MATCH($B$1,Detail_Pivot!$B$ 26:$N$26,0)-1,24,4))) where $A$1 has name e.g "Kimberlee Madsen" $B$1 has first week (of the 4) e.g "Week 10" You can add error logic as required. As Max pointed out, you could shorten the formula by using named ranges. HTH "Max" wrote: "mldancing" wrote: How do you fix it if a formula is too long?

This formula works! Thank you so much HTH. Can you point me to a link where I
can learn more about offset in the formula. I still don't quite get the logic of it. Thanks Max for the pointers too!

Formula Too Long Issue
Look at HELP in OFFSET function.
To break down my Formula: (OFFSET(Detail_Pivot!$B$27,0,MATCH($B$1,Detail_Piv ot!$B$26:$N$26,0)-1,24,4))) Detail_Pivot!$B$27 == this positions the start (reference cell) at your first data cell 0 == just positions on the row determined by the SUMPRODUCT(Detail_Pivot!$A$27:$A$50=$A$1) i.e. the row matching the name MATCH($B$1,Detail_Pivot!$B$26:$N$26,0)-1== finds the column corresponding to the WEEK and we subtract one as its an offset from column B; if the match is B26, MATCH will return 1 and as our reference cell is B27 we want n offset of 0 ...hence subtract one. 24 == is the number of rows your data occupies (rows 27 to 50) 4 ==is the number of columns we want to sum HTH "mldancing" wrote: This formula works!

Formula Too Long Issue
One last question on this:
So with this formula, what should the formula be so that it will return blanks instead of displaying it as 0 (zero)? I tried several ways but couldn't get it to work. Please help again. Thank you.
