How to simulate old array formulas that yield one result instead of spilling
How to implement the following SUM(IF(LEFT(A201:A210)="CAPITAL",C201:C210,0)) which will add values in C201 through C210 when A201 through A210 has the value "CAPITAL"
It should be Left(A201:A210, 7). If omitted, it defaults to one - I just copied the existing formula and did not catch that. But, to be honest, I'm not sure I entirely understand the question. It does not appear the existing formula should spill, with the sum function.
Perhaps this is closer to what you are trying do?
=IF(LEFT(@A201:A210, 7)="CAPITAL",@C201:C210,0)Or, perhaps enter the existing formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, or replace sum with sumproduct?
SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(A201:A210, 7)="CAPITAL"),C201:C210)
SUM(IF(LEFT(A201)="CAPITAL",C201,0)) and copy down to row 210. Or, I think this would also work (@ is the intersection operator). SUM(IF(LEFT(@A201:A210)="CAPITAL",@C201:C210,0))

@ is the intersection operator
To be more precise:
SPACE is the intersection operator.
@ is the reference operator aka implicit intersection operator.
