Based on a question in a different forum, I was trying to see if I could
figure out the answer using some of the new techniques I've seen on these forums. I wrote the following formula, which I can't seem to get to work, although using F9 to calculate parts of the formula seem to indicate it should work. Can someone point me in the right direction, assuming what I am trying is possible. My formula is: =SUM(INDIRECT(CHAR({7,10,13,16} + 64) & "10")) In cells G10, J10, M10, and P10 I have valuse of 100, 200, 300, and 400 respectively. CHAR({7, 10, 13, 16} + 64) & "10" processed with F9 gives {"G10","J10","M10","P10"}. Then if I press F9 on INDIRECT(CHAR({7,10,13,16} + 64) & "10"), I get {100,200,300,400}. So now my formula is =SUM({100,200,300,400}). If I enter this formula in another cell, I get 1000. However, if I use the original formula, no matter whether I enter it normally or as an array formula, I get 100. What's up with that? This appears to be the step that it is failing on as it returns 100, but I don't know how to fix it or if it is doable: =SUM(INDIRECT({"g10","j10","m10","p10"})) Can anyone shed any light as to if this is doable like this and if so, what I need to change in order to make it work? Thanks. |
