Is it possible somehow to define a array formula and give it a name like you
do normal named formulas, so it can be used in a cell like so:

=MyNamedArrayFormula

Thanks.

Yes.

Insert Name Define
Name: MyNamedArrayFormula
RefersTo: =Sum(($A$1:$A$10=5)*($B$1:$B$10=2)*$C$1:$C$10)

If you want to use relative addresses, then these will be relative to the
activecell. With named ranges, best to use absolute references in most
cases.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your reply.

What makes this an array formula rather than just a normal formula? It looks
like the latter, without the { } around it.

It is written as an array formula - it isn't written as a normal formula.

Granted, in column C, entered in cell C2 without array entry, it will use
implicit intersection, but in a named range, implicit intersection isn't an
issue.
