    Unhappy Formula using calculated values from two other formulas wont work

    Hi all

    Has been a while since I have come unstuck and I hope my problem can be resolved...

    I have used a formula in one worksheet uses two calulated values. One formula returns a value from another worksheet. The other formula is in the same worksheet in which a final value is being calculated. The final formula wont use the returned value from the second worksheet.

    Am I missing something or is there some switch that needs activating or does excel not handle this sort of calculation?

    Here are the formulas:

    This formula (below) sits in Col AS in worksheet 1 and returns a value from Assumptions worksheet (worksheet 2).

    =IF(ISERROR(INDEX(Assumptions!$E:$E,MATCH(AR10,Assumptions!$D:$D,0))),0,INDEX(Assumptions!$E:$E,MATCH(AR10,Assumptions!$D:$D,0)))

    Also in worksheet 1 there are two other formulas:

    One in Col AQ which is =IF(OR(H10="Y",H10="N"),AQ9+AN10,AQ9)

    The result of this formula is used with the one above (in Col AS) in a second formula in worksheet 1 shown below and sits in

    Col AT which is =IF(OR(H10="Y",H10="N"),AQ10+AS10,AQ9)

    The formula in Col AT uses the value in Col AQ but not the value in Col AS which is the value returned from the second worksheet.

    Is it something to do with values outside the active worksheet?

    I look forward to your thoughts...

    Many thanks in advance...

    Hi,

    this will be a heck of a lot easier to solve if we can see the actual workbook. Can you create a data and size sanitised version and upload it, and I'm sure you'll have an answer soon.

    I'm not quite sure what you mean by "The formula in Col AT uses the value ..."

    waiting for a workbook ...

    Administrators - I would suggest to create another classifier (such as CLOSED) for these type of threads. This thread actually does not have anything as the query was just in error.

    mgerada - Please mark this thread as SOLVED. Refer to forum rules for how to do this.
