SUM(INDEX(MATCH) for a range returns different result than SUM!
Hi.
Thanks to previous posters of this group I've learnt that in order to have a sum in Sheet1 of the Sheet2 column that matches some expression I must use this construct: =SUM(INDEX(DATA,MATCH(D2,APPS,0))) DATA:Sheet2!$B$1:$O$560, Data will not normally go beyond 200 rows, 560 is just for "security" APPS:Sheet2!$B$1:$O$1 Headers are in B1 through O1 Now, the aforementioned formula evaluates to: =SUM('Sheet2'!$F$1:$F$560) which is quite good because F1 matches D2, the problem is that the final result displayed is: 18:40:00 (data has h:mm:ss format and so has this cell) while a normal =SUM(('Sheet2'!F1:F560) returns 1050:40:00 which is actually right I copied the cell format over and over, defined DATA with or without the headers but I cannot get the correct sum in place. Any ideas? Thanks for your time |

Perhaps it's just a formatting issue ..
Select the formula cell which returns: 18:40:00 Click Format Cells Number tab Choose Custom, Type: [h]:mm:ss (the square brackets around the "h" will prevent rollover) -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- " wrote: Hi.
