Hi All. I want to SUM a 12 month range of numbers starting with the first month that has a number >0, and to start a new SUM range from the month following the previous SUM range.

For instance in the calendar year 2023, if April is the first month with a number >0, that would be the starting point of the SUM calculation (April - March), with the next 12 month period starting April 2024. If June is the first month with a number >0, that would be the starting month (June - May) with the next 12 month period starting in Jun 2024. And so on...

I've tried figuring this out but no luck. Attached is a sample Excel sheet. Hope you understand what I am trying to do. Thanks!

Yes, that's the right way to go. Once you have the same question in multiple forums, make sure all forums have links to all the others. Cheers.
Will do. I found out the problem with the formula. Apparently, the version of Excel I’m using (Mac) does not support Let functions, which is why the errors cropped up. When I switch to Windows-based Excel (via Parallels) on my MacBook it works.

Thanks for the guidance. Will make sure my etiquette is right next time.

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.

I don't have a Mac to check, but I'm thinking that perhaps you just need to ensure you have the latest updates installed?
  • According to the M/Soft Help on LET it is available in 365 for Mac, and
  • This user (356 on Mac) seemed very happy with the LET formula in the previous post.
