I have a problem with SUMPRODUCT. If I use this function:

=SUMPRODUCT($I$58:$I$108;OFFSET($H$58;58-ROW();0;51;1))

I get #VALUE! error.

But if I calculate

=58-ROW()

in a new cell (K58) and uses this cell instead:

=SUMPRODUCT($I$58:$I$108;OFFSET($H$58;K58;0;51;1))

then it works fine. What is wrong with the "58-ROW()" calculation inside the
OFFSET function?

Thanks in advance,
Regards,

Forgot to tell, using version 2002 SP3.

I can't explain exactly what the cause is as it relates to OFFSET but the
problem is being caused by the ROW function. ROW returns an array. Even if
it's a single element it's still an array.

So, this is what's returning the error:

OFFSET($H$58,{n},0,51,1)

This will work:

=SUMPRODUCT($I$58:$I$108,OFFSET($H$58,58-INDEX(ROW(),1),0,51,1))

Was your original formula
=SUMPRODUCT($I$58:$I$108;OFFSET($H$58;58-ROW();0;51;1)) sitting in row 58?
If it wasn't, then it wouldn't return the same result.

Yes it is in row 58. But the problem is row(), this returns an array. Using
INDEX(ROW();1) returns an integer, then OFFSET works fine (see another
message in this thread)

Thanks for replies...
