I am counting number of cases per day in each month by importrange data from daily sheets in every month with this formula on D3 for example:
=SUM(IMPORTRANGE($Q$5,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$6,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$7,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$8,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$9,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$10,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$11,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$12,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$13,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$14,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$15,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$16,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$17,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$18,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$19,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$20,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$21,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$22,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$23,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$24,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$25,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$26,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$27,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$28,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$29,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$30,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$31,R5),IMPORTRANGE($Q$32,R5))
Rows from Q5:Q32 (28 rows) represent IDs of daily sheets for the month of February (C1) & Rows R5:R36 are cells that contains the numbers to be summed. Those cells R5:R36 are fixed in all sheets. For another month like January, the number of rows will be 31 (Q5:Q35) where I need add the following to the previous formula to : Importrange(Q33,R5),Importrange(Q34,R5),Importrange(Q35,R5))
. I am looking for an idea on how to make the formula fixed so I don’t need to change the number of arguments based on number of rows (which represent daily sheet IDs). It makes sense for me so that I can make this sheet a master sheet where the data will change whenever the text in C1 is changed to different month otherwise the formula will show error message if the number of ID rows are less than the number of arguments in the formula (for example, importrange (Q5,R5),…. importrange(Q35:R5) for month of February where the IDs ends on row R32)
