    Trying to SPILL a large multi-step formula

    Trying to SPILL a large multi-step formula with each SPILLED cell representing a step in the formula

    =((([@A1]/4)^1.25+(B1)^1.3+(C1)+(D1*10)^1.125+(E1+1)*(F1+G1/2+H1*2+1)/80+(I1*30)+(J1/2)^1.125+((K1+1)+(ABS((L1+1)*8)^1.125)*SIGN(L1)+[@M1*3)/8+((N1+1)*(O1/4+P1+... and so on.

    Each plus sign is a "step in the equation" where I'd like to display the result.

    A LET function? Index?

    Thanks!

    Re: Trying to SPILL a large multi-step formula

    Maybe this:

    =VSTACK(([@A1]/4)^1.25,(B1)^1.3,(C1),(D1*10)^1.125,(E1+1)*(F1+G1/2+H1*2+1)/80+(I1*30),...)

    Just make sure that you change the correct plus signs to a comma and encase it all in VSTACK(...).

    Suppose you put the VSTACK formula into B4, you can then sum it thus:

    =SUM(B4#)

    If this isn't it, then provide a sample workbook.
