excel - Trouble using Vlookup in a SUMIFS function statement -


i have accounting spreadsheet trying create analysis area populates 12 month actuals data when enter month, function (in case sumif) update formula based on specific column contains monthly data.

for example:

cell o2 = user input month, example: apr

here data looks like:

product     department      actuals-apr actuals-may actuals-jun ….. 

i have lookup table called: “monthactuals” looks follows:

month       column jan     f feb     g    mar     h apr     etc….. 

i have hard coded other criteria actual amount, product , department. so, sumifs looks @ hard-coded product , department, needs column month user wants figures.

here formula works correctly without using vlookup ( hard-coded month):

=sumifs(sheet2!$f$8:$f$328,sheet2!$b$8:$b$328," total glass purchases ",sheet2!$c$8:$c$328,"scrap") 

here vlookup works correctly:

=vlookup(e1,monthactuals,2,false) 

however, when replace “f” column reference in formula vlookup formula, #value error message.

here formula used when tried combine vlookup sumifs.

'sumifs(vlookup(o1,monthactuals,2,false)&”8:”&vlookup(o1,monthactuals,2,false)&“328”,sheet2!$b$8:$b$328,"total glass purchases",sheet2!$c$8:$c$328,"scrap") 

i don't want use vba, use functions these calculations.

first careful of not recognized excel, make sure "

next need use indirect()

sumifs(indirect("sheet2!" & vlookup(o1,monthactuals,2,false) & "8:" & vlookup(o1,monthactuals,2,false) & "328"),sheet2!$b$8:$b$328,"total glass purchases",sheet2!$c$8:$c$328,"scrap")
