YTD using dynamic spilled array

  • Hi All, This is my 1st thread so please bear with me...


    I am stuck with trying to calculate YTD using a spilled array formula


    Cell B1 is a spilled formula from available months that have data in another sheet

    Cells B2 & B3 are also spilled using using =sumifs & =countifs


    What i need to do is have a formula that will add the YTD totals dynamically ie now it will add up jan to may. When June is added dynamically i want the formula to spill and add those figures in the relevant cell.


    i would be really grateful for some advise on how to do this! :/

    Thats as far as i got but i need this to spill as the range grows. So the formulas only live in cells O6 & O7


    Cells O3 O4 O5 contain the formula which automatically spill when data (new months) is added so when my target list (table1) grows and my sales grow (table2) the results will automatic expand.

  • Unfortunately ( for me ...) cannot test the Spill feature of existing functions ...


    Based on what I have read, some standard functions do support the new Spill feature


    You could test in cell O6 the following : =SUM($O$4:AL4)


    Hope this will help

  • Ill keep trying to find a solution and ill update this thread if i do as i think when the new dynamic arrays are rolled out to all 365 users this will be useful!


    Thanks again for your help Carim

  • Thanks for your comment ...


    Meanwhile, does it mean the SUM function does not ... yet ... support the Spill feature ...?
