Description DDCorley 2014-10-28 02:31:20 UTC 
Created attachment 108545 [details]
Sample formulas showing what works, what doesn't and expected results.

=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("$"&$A$1:$A$5&".$A$2:$A$23"),$A19,INDIRECT("$"&$A$1:$A$5&".D$2:D$23")))

Converting similar function from Excel.

The formula should look for sheet names in cells A1 through A5 and look for a match of the value supplied in A19 on any of the sheets in cells A2:A23, summing on values in D2:D23.
  
A1:A5 - Range on same sheet as formula that contains the names of sheets to be summed.
A2:A23 - Is the range on the individual sheets to look for the value supplied in A19.
D2:D23 - Range on the individual sheets with the values to sum if match is found.

If the range A1:A5 is replaced with a single cell (A1 through A5), the formula works and the values are populated.

Attached is an example file, the different sheets are:

INPUT - sheet where values can be entered.
Interest 1 thru Interest 5 - the sheets where values are calculated.
SUMPRODUCTS - sheet that has example formula.
Verify SUMPRODUCTS - Sheet created with work around that has correct values the formula should produce.

Hi DDCorley, thanks for reporting.

Reproducible.
Win7x64Ultimate
LibreOffice Version: 4.3.3.1 Build ID: 7d55112667c8fcddb67bc3803796b46c93aa56b0
AOo 4.1.1

Seems inherited from OOo.

That's from attachment 108545 [details] from comment 0, worksheet named "SUMPRODUCTS", cell C19

Does such equivalent construction actually work in Excel?

That change, from originally using "A1:A5" to using just one cell (A1) means that the arguments for SUMIF() are no longer 3D ranges, but a range within a specific worksheet.

Therefore, that change makes the arguments for SUMIF() receive simple ranges from one worksheet (which SUMIF() accepts), not arrays nor 3D references (which, AFAIR, SUMIF() do not accept).

Is SUMIF() capable of having 3D references as its arguments? Is Excel accepting those?

From comment 0, it is clear what was the desired result. But it is not clear to me what is being reported as incorrect or as unexpected behavior (or as RFE).


The subject/title of this bug report at the time I am writing says:
"SUMPRODUCT not summing multiple sheets".

Whichever the problem might be (if there is really a bug, or if there is some RFE), it would be originated before SUMPRODUCT() steps-in, so that's not the issue.

To sum-up, it is not clear to me what this report is about.

Could you attach a sample file that works in excel?
