Dynamic array formulas.


Can someone explain why if my array starts with cell C4, it doesn't work; but it does if I start at D4?
 

Excel Facts

Excel Can Read to You
Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
The formula works for me.
Try entering the formula again and/or try your mini example on a clean sheet.

What works for me too is:

Excel Formula:
=SCAN(0,C4:AL4,SUM)

I can't reproduce any error.

Thanks all for the suggestion. I did take your advice and tried on a fresh sheet. I discovered that cell C4 was actually blank text.

You will get the error is C4 is not an empty cell.
