- Jul 27, 2022when you are dealing with array, it depends on the formula like the on on the photo, it is a matter of the targeted cell should be the same number as the source. So in this case it will give you error since the target cell merged cell which means just 1 cell.
- ahess2004Jul 27, 2022Copper ContributorWell the top part in the photo "output" section is merged cells and it worked with the array just fine. it the bottom part doesn't work properly. there is not difference in the formula other than the cell ranges. the thing that stops it all is the data in the first cell in the second row of the "table". I do appreciate you help on this by the way. It has been frustrating me for the past few days trying to figure this out.
