Formula help
A user has a file consisting of 12 period sheets and 1 summary sheet. She
has a very long formula on the summary: D5*$D$2 + F5*$F$2 and so on through column AJ. At the end of the formula she needs to add more numbers that come from the individual period sheets: ='Per 1'!AG5*'Per 1'!AG2 and so on through Per 12. She has a "helper" column set up that adds ='Per 1'!AG5*'Per 1'!AG2 + 'Per 2'!AG5*'Per 2'!AG2 through Per 12. She adds the result of the helper column to the end of the first formula. Is there a way to lose the helper column and add a shorter 3-dimensional formula there? I'm not very good with arrays, and I suspect we're being stupid here. TIA! Excel 2003. |

We can have another row to hold the product of D5*$D$2,..... and add up the
sum for that row. "cottage6" wrote: A user has a file consisting of 12 period sheets and 1 summary sheet. She has a very long formula on the summary: D5*$D$2 + F5*$F$2 and so on through column AJ.

Excel 2003.A good start would be to post the formula and/or sample workbook!, it is almost impossible to give advice on the formula as you have explained it. -- Simon Lloyd Regards, Simon Lloyd 'The Code Cage' (http://www.thecodecage.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simon Lloyd's Profile: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/member.php?userid=1 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/sh...ad.php?t=78657 |

Thanks to both of you; I think I've figured something else out.
