Can I have 1000 lines of information or will that be too much?

Can I have 1000 lines of information or will that be too much?

I don't think there is any limit...did you try it?

 

[brett1101]

I havent tried that many yet I just didn't know if it was a good idea to stop at a certian number and then start a new book.

 

[TheNoocH]

everything winds up depending on performance...
if you have complex formulas and alot of data there is a point where the performance will not be acceptable...
other than that and a little patience there shouldn't be any hard and fast limits...

Is there a way to sum the values in one cell in multlookup

ex: =multlookup($C$5:$C$11,$f$1,1) returns 6,9

Is there a way to get that to return 15(the sum) in the cell?

thanks

Thanks everyone for all of your help.

 

[TheNoocH]

in its current form the answer is no...it's designed to pull back data...b/c the data it pulls back can be numeric, string, etc...

post some data and what you would like and i'll see if i can help you...

mon tue wed thur fri total

8 8 8 8 8 40

6,9 8 8 8 8 32 if entered sum(a3:e3)

Would there be a way to total that and I am ok with the 6,9 in one cell.

I am thinking of just adding a sheet that would just have a monday each day going down each row so I could sum that up.

ex: Job#1 Mon
6
9
Total 15

Then transfer that total to my sheet. I believe this will work better for me. I guess I was just looking for an easy shortcut there.

 

[brett1101]

That didnt look as good as when i typed it at first. I can do what I need to do. thanks

 

[TheNoocH]

where is the 6,9 coming from?
