Hoping someone might be able to help me! I'm new to array formulas, I got the formula below working.

=SUM((Data!C2:C727='Training & PD Analysis'!A9)*(Data!B2:B727='Training & PD Analysis'!J5)*Data!E2:E727)

I want to copy the formula down 100 rows. As usual the ranges change as you move the formula down, but I want the ranges to stay the same - so I've tried using absolute values, and the calc doesn't work and I get zero

this is the formula that doesn't work:
=SUM((Data!$C$2:$C$727='Training & PD Analysis'!A9)*(Data!$B$2:$B$727='Training & PD Analysis'!$J$5)*Data!$E$2:$E$727)

Pulling my hair out with this, so i'd be very happy for any pointers! Thanks !!

Welcome to the Board.

Your formula should work provided that you remembered to press Ctrl+Shift+Enter. Try this non-array formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Data!$C$2:$C$727='Training & PD Analysis'!A9),--(Data!$B$2:$B$727='Training & PD Analysis'!$J$5),Data!$E$2:$E$727)

COPIED DOWN.

hi there, No I want 'Training & PD Analysis'!A9 to change as the formula is dragged down, as it's refering to an employee number that changes in each row.

Wicked that works a treat! I had tried SUMPRODUCT, but hasn't quite got it right.

Thanks ever so!
