I posted this back 2/7/09 and figured out how to make it work but don't know
why and was wondering why it does?

=SUMPRODUCT(--(CustomerNumberInvoice=Customers!$D3),--(WeekInvoice=$E$1),INVNET)
I changed to:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(CustomerNumberInvoice=$D3),--(WeekInvoice=$E$1),INVNET)

The worksheet is named Customers and contains the formulas with the customer
number in column D that it matches on the other sheets/dynamic ranges. When
I sort who purchased the most, the first formula puts the customer names in
column A in order but the formula gives the wrong dollar amounts. It returns
the amount of the customer that is now is the position that it used to be.
If customer #30 had the most and was in row 31, it sorts and puts #30 in the
second row (first 2 rows have headers) but pull info from what ever customer
is now in row 31. The formula has
=SUMPRODUCT(--(CustomerNumberInvoice=Customers!$D31),--(WeekInvoice=$E$1),INVNET)
in the second row instead of
=SUMPRODUCT(--(CustomerNumberInvoice=Customers!$D3),--(WeekInvoice=$E$1),INVNET)
When I deleted the "Customers" from the formula, all sorts properly.
Just wondering why it has to be this way?
Thanks,
Lee
 
Hi Lee,
The reason is because Customer is the name of the tab you are in, and you
are making reference to a cell D3, you only need to refer to the tab name if
you are in another tab
If this was helpful please say yes. Thank you
 
Thanks for the information.
