Conditional Sum Wizard with dynamic named ranges

[willee]

Hello folks,

Been scratching my head for a couple of hours trying to avoid having to
resort to VBA. Hopefully, you can help me with the following...

I've used the Conditional Sum Wizard to set the value of a cell
depending on multiple conditions and that seems to work fine, but I'd
like to be able to use some dynamic, named ranges instead of absolute
cell references in my formula.

Here's the formula that works with the absolute references,

Code:
--------------------
{=SUM(IF(Payments!$A$2ayments!$A$113>=DATEVALUE("06/04/2004"),IF(Payments!$A$2ayments!$A$113<=DATEVALUE("05/04/2005"),IF(Payments!$H$2ayments!$H$113=$A6,Payments!$E$2ayments!$E$113,0),0),0))}
--------------------


What I'd really like to do is to replace the hard-coded reference to
row 113 as addtional rows are appended. I thought my best approach
would be to replace the cell range with a named range, as per the
following, but it didn't work.

Code:
--------------------
{=SUM(IF(payments_a>=DATEVALUE("06/04/2004"),IF(payments_a<=DATEVALUE("05/04/2005"),IF(payments_h=$A6,payments_e,0),0),0))}
--------------------


Any suggestions?

Thanks

If you want to sum the Payment column E where A is between certain dates and
where column H = A6 then you can use

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Payments!$A$2:$A$13>=DATE(2004,6,4)),--(Payments!$A$2:$A$13<=DATE(2005,5,4)),--(Payments!$H$2:$H$13=$A6),Payments!$E$2:$E$13)

no need to array enter

if want to use a dynamic range which can be found here

Thank you! That works, but it still uses absolute references. I've no
problems defining dynamic ranges, but I can't figure out how to
implement dynamic ranges in the SUMPRODUCT formula you've kindly
provided.

Is it possible to use something like this

Code:

That is the correct sumproduct formula but you need to change the dynamic
range

payments_range_e

would be

=OFFSET(Payments!$E$2,0,0,COUNTA(Payments!$E$2:$E$65536),1)

since it starts in E2.

You could still use the counta($E:$E) but then you need offset by one if you
have a header in E1
or else you will include that as well

=OFFSET(Payments!$E$2,0,0,COUNTA(Payments!$E:$E)-1,1)

assuming you have a header. Do the same for the other ranges

Personally I would probably use a large enough range in a defined name
without using a dynamic ranges since
if you by any chance would have a different count of items/values in one of
the columns it would return a
#VALUE! error (array formulas like these need same sized ranges) and it
might be hard to spot but if you know these ranges never will go beyond
let's say 10000 cells you could define a name for Payments!$A$2:$A$10000 and
so on, that way the ranges would always be equally sized and you wouldn't
get an error

In theory, there shouldn't be a differing number of values across eac
column, however, point taken.

I've changed the ranges to cover up to row 65536 instead of bein
dynamic.

Thanks again! :
