Here's my sumproduct formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Data!$F$2:$F$2500='BDC P&L'!$C$607)*(Data!$D$2:$D$2500='BDC
P&L'!C608)*(Data!$A$2:$A$2500='BDC P&L'!$C$605)*(Data!$C$2:$C$2500='BDC
P&L'!$B612)*(Data!$E$2:$E$2500))

This formula is working fine as it is. But one of my criteria (Col D) is
listing data for the entire year (13 periods). So I needed to match the
criteria to the current + past periods only. For example, If I'm on P04, I
will need to return data for the first 3 periods only. If I omit the
criteria, the formula will sum up all the data for all 13 periods, and if I
leave it as it is, it will return only the values that match the data under
'BDC P&L'!C608. I have tried something like this but didn't work:
........)*(Data!$D$2:$D$2500='BDC P&L'!C608 + 'BDC P&L'!D608 + 'BDC P&L'!E608
)*(..........))

I also nested sum into that one criteria, but i didn't work either.
Columns A, C, D, and F are text type, while column E is numerical type. Any
direction on this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

when u change the way u look @ things, the things u look at change.

I have managed to use an array within that criteria,and get it to work, but
it seems like a manual process, meaning every period I have to change my
formulas to include the new period, and this is going to be tedious as my
workbook is quite long with many formulas and projects. Here's how I got it
to work manually:

........)*(Data!$D$2:$D$2500= {"01","02","03"})*(...........

Is there a way to have this work automatically?

Thanks.

Can you not do:

........)*(Data!$D$2:$D$2500<= X1)*(...........

where X1=last period required e.g "03"

Another thought, think you could try using a defined range,
eg define D as:
D: ={"01","02","03"}

Then apply it as:
........)*(Data!$D$2:$D$2500=D)*(...........

Thanks Toppers. That did the trick.

Thanks Max for the reply, but i'm not sure how would that automate the
process. Is that mean I have to change the range each period? Because the
data comes in for the entire year (13 period), and I only needed to sum what
I need according to my current period.
Toppers example will do the job for now.

Thanks.

Glad to hear you got it from Topper's suggestion. Pl dismiss the earlier
thought. It wasn't quite relevant here.
