I am struggling trying to get offset to work in an array formula.
Let me give some background. My spreadsheet has a matrix portion of it where 3 categories of data are stored for each of 10 weeks. So there are 30 columns of data. I have been using array formulas in order to sum the like columns since each sum should only count 10 of the 30 columns. Everything works great with that. I have one more calculation I am trying to do though where I am struggling. Essentially i want the formula to look in a cell, use the value stored there as the row offset data in an OFFSET function to retrieve another value and then have the array function sum that. The offset function seems to fail whenever the formula is entered as an array formula. As best I can tell, the issue is that the row offset reference in the OFFSET function is now a range (like K21:AN21) instead of a single cell. My hope was the array function would cycle the cell entries just like it does for other portions of the formula. It appears that the array formula approach is not working to get it to cycle or something. Any suggestions? I would really like to avoid having intermediate calculations on the spreadsheet. My current workaround is to have the offset lookups performed on a range of hidden cells and I sum those. But that is certainly less than elegant. Am I trying to go too far with array formulas here? |
