All (especially Frank Kabel, I guess)

I have done some googles on the newsgroup on the topic of SUMPRODUCT, and
frankly am a little flabberrgasted. So, could some pundit advise if the
following is possible, please?

I am using 3D sums (like =SUM(Sheet1:Sheet4!A1) to sum accross multiple
sheets. What I would like to use an array (1,1,1,0) which indicates whether
the values from a particular sheet are included in the sum, or not. Hence
the idea of using SUMPRODUCT, resulting web search, confusion, and newsgroup
question.

Any takers on this one?

Hi Alex
some more information would be helpful :-)
Just give an example of what you're trying to achieve

Frank,

The problem is:
I have a series of sheets (up to 45 right now), each corresponds to a
project.

Sheet names and positions a
RollupSht, &Start, Proj1, Proj2, etc, &End

An overall rollup sheet adds values from corresponding cells on each
project sheet to the rollup sheet. No problem: SUM('&Start':'&End'!A1)

What I wish to do is "filter out" some of the sheets from the summation
to the summary page by using SUMPRODUCT. I would form an array of 1's
and 0's based on which sheets I want to include in the rollup.
(conceptually Sheet1!A1*1 + Sheet2!A1*0 + Sheet3!A1*1 + ...)

I already have a method to achieve this by moving sheets in and out of
the summation range (after sheet &End), but this is slow. I could also
do zero multiplication locally on the sheet and add THAT, but I thought
SUMPRODUCT might do the job more elegantly, and with less memory impact.

Let me know if you think there is hope for this one.

Hi
and there do you want to put your criteria?

Array would be a worksheet range, a single cell on each project sheet,
or an array saved as a workbook name.

Hi
so lets assume you would put 'X' in cell A1 on each sheet you want to
sum and you want to sum cell B1 on each of these sheets.
1. Put a list of all worksheets on your summary sheet. e.g. in cells
X1:X10
2. Use the following formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("'" & X1:X10 & "'!A1"),"X",INDIRECT("'" &
X1:X10 & "'!B1")))

SumProduct does not support 3D references.
