An array excel formula to increase the numebrs in the array bracket

  • Hi guys,


    I had an excel formula that contained nine exponentials, the formula was initially complicated but it was shortened with an array of 9 years.
    this is the old formula. they were two formulas


    Old
    =SUMPRODUCT((1-0.035)^{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},BD2:BM2-AF2:AO2+0.28*AR2:BA2/10^6*8.61)


    =IF(BP2=0,0,IF(BP2>0,"N/A",SUMPRODUCT((1-0.035)^{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},AR2:BA2)/10^6*8.61/(BP2*-1))).


    I have now entered several columns in the excel spreadsheet to change it from 9yrs to 40 years, so I need an array of 40 years and It seems a bit complicated to enter the bracket (1,2,3,4 ..............40)


    this the new formula with the added columns but not with the 40 arrays added.


    New
    =SUMPRODUCT((1-0.035)^{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},CG22:DT22-C22:AP22+0.28*AR22:CE22/10^6*8.61)


    =IF(FK22=0,0,IF(FK22>0,"N/A",SUMPRODUCT((1-0.035)^{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},AR22:CE22)/10^6*8.61/(FK22*-1)))


    Can someone please advise how I can change the number of years from 9 to 40 without entering the (1,2 .... till 40)


    I have posted this in a previous thread as a reply, am trying to link it but am having issues doing that, so apologies for the inconvenience


    Many thanks

    Try replacing {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}


    with


    (ROW($A$1:$A$10)-ROW($A$1))


    for 0-40 it would be:


    (ROW($A$1:$A$41)-ROW($A$1))


    I guess this is the other thread you were referring to, now with an alternate solution: http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=196006

    many thanks for the above message, is this what you mean because I am getting an error


    =SUMPRODUCT((1-0.035)^(ROW($A$1:$A$41)-ROW($A$1)),BD2:BM2-AF2:AO2+0.28*AR2:BA2/10^6*8.61)

    Yes that is correct. Do you have values in all the relevant references? Do you have to expand the BD2:BM2 and other ranges to suit? All ranges should be same size
