Hi,
I believe you had a similar (if not identical question) which you
posted back on September 27th (topic: IF doesn't respect AND - http://d
ocument-foundation-mail-archive.969070.n3.nabble.com/IF-doesn-t-
respect-AND-td4249584.html). At the time you had uploaded a file to
Google and I had offered a possible solution to your problem which had
worked in my environment. I am curious to know if you have tried it and
if it worked.
Rgds,
Rémy.

I'm not sure I follow your logic, but if your source range contains a
list
of values that includes nulls, and non-numbers, you need to logically
exclude those from a math statement, or you get the 'VALUE' error
(tried to
do math on a non-numeric cell.) ISBLANK, and ISNUMBER are functions
that
provide the way around the VALUE.

If you're trying to make a list of values out of a column of values,
investigate CONCATENATE.  The problem with concatenate is that it
doesn't
auto-insert separators and whitespace.  You'll either need to include
a new
column with ", " in each row and concatenate 2 columns, or have the
appropriate whitespace in each cell.

If you only have a couple cells to concatenate, you can be precise
with the
& operator.  that is [="Hello "&"there!"] allows multiple strings in
a
single cell, and each string can be cell references or functions with
string or numeric output.  [="I've seen "&A5&", "&G3&" cells today."]
is a
nice way to summarize your data in human readable form.

If you're trying to only pick a few values, investigate LOOKUP.  I'm
an
excel refugee, (and used Lotus, and 8bit (GEOS) spreadsheets before
that.)
LibreOffice version of LOOKUP is.... not very well done, but if
you're
patient with it, it gets the job done.  I frequently have to insert
dummy
rows containing null cells when I want 'exact match only', and
libreoffice
can't deal with 'non-sorted' indexes, and they aren't clearly or
obvious
what the sorting pattern should be, so it's best to sort your data
within
LibreOffice before you use lookup.  (for lookups, a ==A or not,
sometimes
NBSP == space, but sometimes not.  This affects matches, but also
sorting..
and sort failures breaks many responses, not just one.  These sorting
issues are constant for a single edition of libreoffice, but seem to
change
without any notice on updates.)

Hi,

What I need help with is the formula to find any row from Data.$A$3
to
Data$A$1000 and after shortening the 8 digit date value to 6 digit
value, and having the same 6 digit value as Summary.$A4, forward
ONLY
those rows onto the next part of the formula i.e. SUMIF.

I have a formula shown below but currently is showing me #VALUE! as
my
result.


"=IF(INT(Data.$A$31:Data.$A$50/100)=Summary.$A4,SUMIF(Data.$F$31:Da
ta.$F$50,"N",Data.$C$31:Data.$C$50))"

I have identified the problem where the INT value = Summary.$A4

What would the correct syntax be to have a criteria equal a
specified
value as a criteria in a formula? I tried encasing
"INT...=Summary.A4",
but no luck.

SUMIFS does not assist as the criteria to find, after INT
shortening
must equal another value before the next step can be carried out.

Appreciate any help. Where should I upload a file Nabble, GDrive,
other?

Regards
Hylton
