Formula Advice
I must have used a subject for an earlier post by someone else and
this showed up twice in their reply, so I have changed the subject name..... Hi Group! I'm back again, trying to solve a problem that Don Guillett so correctly pointed out that needs to be addressed, and I thank you for that Don! I have a database that dynamically updates from log entries, which in turn updates my charts, and they are working extremely well. The problem is that I'm using SUMPRODUCT in every cell in my daily database, and that is causing the log entries to become slower to enter because the database recalculates on every entry, and my formula includes far too many cells in that calculation. I have entered a dynamic named range "MyRange" that correctly includes only the rows that are populated, but I haven't been able to include that named range into the calculations for SUMPRODUCT. I have screenshots here to illustrate how everything is laid out: http://www.elodgingatbristol.com/SUMPRODUCT.htm Can that named range be used in the formula to limit how many calculations that Excel has to do? Any advice is greatly appreciated...I've beat my head against the wall for a couple of weeks trying different tips that I've seen in the groups, but can't get it to work. Thanks very much in advance.... Ken |

It looks like your dynamic range height is based on the last numeric value
in column A and the range is 20 columns wide. To use that named range you have to wrap it inside an INDEX function and tell SUMPRODUCT which column of the range to use. Like this: =SUMPRODUCT(--(INDEX(MyRange,,1)="this"),--(INDEX(MyRange,,2)="that"),INDEX(MyRange,,3)) In the above I'm referencing the first, second and third columns of the dynamic range.

You might like to switch the file to manual calculation while you
enter the data - Tools | Options | Calculation tab, click on Manual. This will stop the sheet from recalculating while you put data in. You can then press F9 to recalculate once you are ready, or Tools | Options | Calculation tab, click on Automatic. Hope this helps.
