Hello,


A question about powerpivot and excel 2010.
The entire thing is pretty big and complex,
so I use an example to explain the problem.
(please do not explain how this particular
example could be done in another way, the
real thing is different from this example!)


I have two tables with a different number of rows.


Table1:
column1 column2
1 1
2 2
3 4
4 8
5 16
6 32
7 64
8 128




Table2:
column3 column4 column5
1 8 (should be 255)
2 8 (should be 254)
3 8 (should be 253)
1 1 (should be 1)




I want to calculate the sum of column2 with a range,
column3 to column 4, and put that sum into column5


An example formula that works only works for the second row:
column5:
=calculate( sum([column2]) ; [column1]>=2 ; [column1]<=8 )


What I really want is to replace the 2 and 8 with the values
of column3 and column4, but doing that results in an error.


Which formula can do the trick?


Thank you in advance for your replies!!!

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
It looks like I found the problem! You have to filter, the filter of calculate allows only a combination of a field and a constant, instead add: filter( [column1]<=[column4] ) and the same for column3.
