Is there a way to turn C4 into a formula that actually performs a sum range of the result produced by the formula that's already in the cell? Referencing C4 in a sum range from another cell works (for example, [SUM(INDIRECT(C4))] in C5 produces the correct value of "0"). But is there a way to do it all within the same cell?

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Maybe
Excel Formula:
=SUM(INDIRECT("'Daily Tally'!"&SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,MATCH(SORT('Daily Tally'!G2#),C3:HV3,0)+6,4),"1","")&XMATCH(B389,'Daily Tally'!A:A,0)&":"&SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,MATCH(SORT('Daily Tally'!G2#),C3:HV3,0)+6,4),"1","")&XMATCH(B389+1,'Daily Tally'!A:A,0)-1))

Not familiar with the "CODE=xls" part, and Excel won't let me enter it in a cell. But I tried the formula in between the CODE parts - it gave a value of "1", but the value should be "0". Also, it did not spill into other parts of row 4 as desired.

Never mind my mention about the "CODE" part. I see that is just part of the code of the thread.

In that case can you post some sample data from the Daily Tally sheet.

The first sample is a repost of Sheet1. To make things easier, the formula in question is now in C1. The second sample is from the Daily Tally sheet.

Plugging your formula into C4, the array shows the correct value in fk4, but incorrect values for all other non-zero cells. For reference, row 9 is the correct totals for each food for that date. Tried different dates in place of b9 in the formula, and it shows the formula is only giving non-zero values for the first food that shows up on the date in column D of the Daily Tally sheet.
