Maxing Out Cross Reference Sheet

Ann Foley

Hi!

I'm using an Index Match formula to pull info into a roll up sheet:

=SUMIF({AC 2020 Priority Hotels}, "Complete", {AC Jan ITR}) / COUNTIF({AC 2020 Priority Hotels}, "Complete")

However, I'm getting this error message:

The max is around 25K cells which I definitely don't have in my sheets. However, when I cross reference a sheet (AC 2020 Priority Hotels) and choose the column (AC Jan ITR), it's picking every single cell in that column....when I only actually have data in 150 cells.

So, my question is - I'm maxing out the cross sheet references because it's picking every cell in my 60 columns - so how can I just pick certain cells within column and not the entire column?

Thanks!!

Happy to help!

Note sure why!

I'd be happy to take a quick look!

Can you maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s)? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

Hi Ann,

I think you’ve reached the 100 distinct cross-sheet reference limit.

Could that be it?

More info:

• Each sheet can include no more than 100 distinct cross-sheet references.

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

Thanks, Andrée. Perhaps that is the problem - but I'm confused why I was able to complete one set of sheets just fine and without error, yet when I try to replicate the same exact thing on another set of sheets (but with different data), I'm running into this error. Any thoughts? Thanks!!

Thank you so much! For some reason, I'm no longer getting that error and it works just fine!
