    Post Array formula issue

    excel error.PNG

    Hi All,

    I am having the above issue and can't seem to figure out why.

    As per the photo, when I use that offset formula, it provides me with a #Value error. However, if i debug that part using F9 then the formula works fine.

    Appreciate your help.

    Re: Array formula issue

    Hi ucj8b. Welcome to the forum.

    I have some ideas. Without context (a sample Excel file upload ... not screenshots or pics; saves retyping data) I have to guess a lot.

    If you are not familiar with how to do this:

    To attach a file to your post,
    • be sure to desensitize the data
    • click “Go Advanced” (next to Post Quick Reply – bottom right),
    • scroll down until you see “Manage Attachments”, click that,
    • click “Browse”.
    • select your file(s)
    • click “Upload”
    • click “Close window”
    • click “Submit Reply”

    The file name will appear at the bottom of your reply.
    Dave

    Re: Array formula issue

    Some functions and formula results (usually arrays) that are "resistant". This frequently occurs with OFFSET returns. Try changing formula in F7 to

    =INDEX(Data!$C$2:$C$8,MATCH(1,(Data!$A$2:$A$8=$E7)
    *(Data!$B$2:$B$8=T(OFFSET($F7,-1*(ROW($F7)-LARGE(IF(ISNUMBER($B$6:$B7),ROW($B$6:$B7)),1)),,))),0))

    Array entered of course.

    The T and N functions are often all that is needed. If it is an array or range that is returned it may further require T(+array). The same is true on the N function.

    Once in a while you will encounter arrays that are even more resistant. These require extra steps and almost always include and N (or T) function call.

    F8:F9 return errors because there are no matches in 'Data'.

    Thanks, you lifesaver!

    Adding the T function definitely resolves the issue.

    Still new to using arrays so it's the first time I've come across the T and N function - will definitely look further into it.

    You're welcome. Glad to help and thanks for the feedback.

    If you are interested XOR LX has some articles discussing their use. He goes into detail.
