Sum IF function - linked to external worksheets
Excel 2000
I have a spreadsheet that utilizes the sumif function command from another external spreadsheet. If the other file is open, no problem, the function does its job. However, when the external file is not open and the dialog box asks me about updating links I get a value error in each cell. How do I make this work without opening the external file? Thanks in advance. Dave |

Hi Dave
you may try using SUMPRODUCT instead as SUMIF does not work with closed workbooks. e.g. change a formula like =SUMIF('[Book2.xls]Tabelle1'!$A$1:$A$6,"condition",'[Book2.xls]Tabelle' 1!$B$1:$B$6) to =SUMPRODUCT(--('[Book2.xls]Tabelle1'!$A$1:$A$6="condition"),'[Book2.xls ]Tabelle'1!$B$1:$B$6) this will work even with closed workbooks -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany Dave DJ wrote: Excel 2000 I have a spreadsheet that utilizes the sumif function command from another external spreadsheet.
