Convert SUMIFS to work in Excel 2003

=SUMIFS(H:H,A:A,J2,D:D,"Initiating User")

I am currently using excel 2007 but I am building some charts for other users, I used a LOT of SUMIFS in this workbook, but unfortunately this won't work on their computers due to having xl2003. I wish everybody would just convert to 2007 but we have some stubborn folks here, any help converting this to work in 2003 would be appreciated

Do you have to specify the ROWs in the formula or can i use A:A, D:D, and H:H, these columns are in a linked query so the number of rows the table will cover will change over time

In Excel 2003 you cannot use whole rows/columns for what are essentially array operations, which this is (even though it is not set up as an array formula).What you can do is set up dynamic Names.For example, create a Name, ColA, referring to (if the data are numeric or dates):='Sheet Name'!$A$1:INDEX('Sheet Name'!$A:$A,MATCH(10^300,'Sheet Name'!$A:$A))or if text:='Sheet Name'!$A$1:INDEX('Sheet Name'!$A:$A,MATCH("ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ",'Sheet Name'!$A:$A))Do the same for the other columns. Now your fomula becomes:=SUMPRODUCT((ColA=J2)*(ColD="Initiating User")*(ColH))

Click the 'request attention' link in the original question box - explain what you want - that's all.
