I have a simple array formula that sums 3 criterias. After I've entered
the formula and do Ctrl+Shift+Enter, an error pops up stating that "Array Formulas are not valid in merged cells.". I am a novice to array formulas so this is strange to me. Any way around this? Thanks, VT |

Hi
easiest way: remove the merged cells. I would assume you have entered this formula in a merged cell? -----Original Message----- I have a simple array formula that sums 3 criterias.

Unfortunately, the report's layout needs to have merged cells. I was
looking for an easy way out without redesigning the entire report. I guess I will have to look for other formulas to do the same function. Thanks anyway. VT |

Hi#you may simply post your existing formula. There should
be an easy solution :-) -----Original Message----- Unfortunately, the report's layout needs to have merged cells. I was looking for an easy way out without redesigning the entire report. I guess I will have to look for other formulas to do the same function. Thanks anyway. VT . |

Here's my formula:
=Sum(sumif(Data1,ProductCode,Data2)) Data1 is a named column containing product codes. ProductCode is a named array containing the products for which I wish to add the sales figures. Data2 is a named column containing sales figures. Simple enough...only if it works in a merged cell!!! Thanks. |

Hi
some (crude) workarounds: 1. Add several SUMIfs each comparing only to one of the values in your comparison range 2. Unmerge the cells, enter the formula in the leftmost cell and merge the cells again -----Original Message----- Here's my formula: =Sum(sumif(Data1,ProductCode,Data2)) Data1 is a named column containing product codes.

Intuitively, I tried hitting merge and center AFTER entering the array formula and it works fine. Just unmerge the cells, enter your array formula, hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter, then re-do the merge and center. It's not awesome to take extra steps but it seems to work fine. FWIW this is in Excel 2010.
