How to evaluate dynamic string expression, to formula

[matfe]

Hi there,

based on a serie of input values in cells in range $E$4:$E$8 and in a serie of auxiliar booleans ($F$4:$F$8)that are funtions of the input cells, i generate a string expression using the following formula:

="SUMPRODUCT("&IF($F$4=TRUE,"(Data!$C$3:$C$20000='Retention Analysis'!$E$4)*","")&IF($F$5=TRUE,"('Retention Analysis'!$E$5=Data!$D$3:$D$20000)*","")&IF($F$6=TRUE,"('Retention Analysis'!$E$6=Data!$G$3:$G$20000)*","")&IF($F$7=TRUE,"('Retention Analysis'!$E$7=Data!$E$3:$E$20000)*","")&IF($F$8=TRUE,"('Retention Analysis'!$E$8=Data!$F$3:$F$20000)*","")&"($D51=Data!$A$3:$A$20000)*(E$50=Data!$B$3:$B$20000)*"&"(Data!$H$3:$H$20000))"

This formula basically builds dinamically the equivalent string expression of the formula i would need to evaluate based on the input values.

The problem is that i'm not finding a way of evaluating this string expression.

I have already tried to use this vba function:

Function Eval(r As Range) As Variant
Eval = Evaluate(r.Value)
End Function

With no success.

And the indirect function doesn't seems to be a good a approach as i need to evaluate the whole expression together and not just ranges.

Anyone none if this would be possible?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Have you tried form the Main Menu ... Formulas > Evaluate Formula ?

@matfe ...

1. What is the cell address where you're trying to output the result of this concatenated formula?

2. Is this a one-time occurrence in your sheet? Or is this type of concatenated formula something you'll be trying to use throughout the sheet?

3. If you were to succinctly name this formula of yours, what would you call it? In other words, what is a short, descriptive name for what it does?

4. Which version of Excel are you running?
