Hello,

I am trying to solve a problem where I multiply a 1D array of User inputs (Place a 1 in a cell if you want that row of data to be included in a calculation) by a 2D array of calculated data. I'm trying to use Named Ranges throughout the doc and have pasted their sections below. In the first screenshot is where I'm having trouble with my calculation. I assumed that if I used SUMPRODUCT of the named range in the second image below of 1's and blanks that I could use an indexed column from the 2D array shown in the 3rd image.

Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
How about
Excel Formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(INDIRECT($B4)*(Compiled_Operating_Years=C$3),Compiled_Cost_Schedule)

Y'all make this look too easy on your end. Thank you! Could you help me understand why we would multiply the "Compiled Operating Years = C$3" function by the 1D array, and not the 2D array?

The reason I ask is that I'll be adding additional "triggers" and would be good to understand functionally why we multiply these operators by the respective array (i.e. IF("Name of Inverter"=This,1,0) type of calculation trigger)

You need to multiply the 2 arrays together to find out which rows/columns should be used.
