I'm trying to build the MASK column such that a 1 is displayed for the first distinct COMPOUND that has VOL * FLOW > 0, but I can't get it to work in the table using SUM(IF(FREQUENCY constructs; I get a "multi-cell array formulas are not allowed in tables" error.

What other options would I have to build this? I'd like to keep it a formula-based solution rather than VBA so people can follow the logic. I keep the VBA locked and hidden.

Or perhaps:

=IF([@VOLUME]*[@FLOW],--(1=SUMPRODUCT(--(INDEX([COMPOUND],1):[@COMPOUND]=[@COMPOUND]),--(INDEX([VOLUME],1):[@VOLUME]<>0),--(INDEX([FLOW],1):[@FLOW]<>0))),0)
