Prom with the DSUM function
Hello I'm having a problem with the DSUM function. As everybody knows, parameters for this function are DSUM(database, field, criteria). I have no problems with "field" and "criteria". My worksheet has a lot of defined names ranges (which i stored in cells) and i wanted to use them to replace the "database" parameter each time i choose a different department from a list. For example i have range B6:F96 named as "area_1". If i write the formula using =DSUM(area1, field, criteria), it works fine. However, if a store the name "area_1" into cell A1 and change the formula to =DSUM(A1, field, criteria) i get #VALUE. The parameter criteria must be a cell with the name of the database column and at lest one cell above with the filter to be applied. For these parameter i can use a named range. Will it be possible that i cannot use this technique for the database parameter? Any help would be very much appreciated. -- oteixeira ------------------------------------------------------------------------ oteixeira's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=35320 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=551007 |
