I'm struggling to understand why I'm receiving this "#REF!" error. The formula in AT is =if(sum(AS3:INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("AS",(JJ3+3))))>0,1+AT4,0) . The JJ column currently shows 166, so AT should find the sum of AS3:AS169. For whatever reason I seem to get this error about half of the time, but I get it less when JJ is a smaller number. For example if I change the "JJ3+3" part of the formula to "JJ3-100" I don't receive the error but then AT is not showing me the correct number. I'm hoping you can help me troubleshoot this.

did you check your AS column, if any cell in the range has a #REF error, the sum function will inherit it. That would also fit with your observation that the error disappears when you reduce the AS3:ASxx range. |

No, there isn't a #REF error anywhere in the AS range

Then it looks like the statement created using the indirect function leads to a REF error. Personally I don't like to use the indirect function. Couldn't you achieve the same by using a offset? if your JJ3 field for some reason puts out some kind of error, or no number at all, you would end up with a REF error. Maybe consider putting a fail save into the indirect call by checking before using it if JJ3 is a number. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-07-17 21:41:24
