Could you create a stripped-down copy of the workbook demonstrating the problem (without sensitive information) and make it available through one of the websites that let you upload and share a file, such as OneDrive, Google Drive, FileDropper or DropBox. Then post a link to the uploaded and shared file here.
MS Excel dynamic array formula
What formula can sum up all the budget amounts between months that I specify for the Expense by Group (Column A) - in top image? I tried the above but got the dreaded value error message

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum!
Based on the information you provided, I understand you're working with a dynamic array formula in Excel to sum budget amounts between specified months for a particular expense group.
For better assist, please kindly allow me to provide some information with you:
- What are the exact start and end months you're trying to use?
- Are the month names in the headers exactly "Jan", "Feb", etc.?
- Would you like a corrected formula or a different approach (like using FILTER or SUMIFS)?
- Would you be able to send me an example file (not the actual one), so I can assist you more effectively?
Your understanding and co-operation are highly appreciated. Thank you for your precious time. Have a nice day!
