I'm sorry - I was not asking how to do my bookkeeping ... I have been using
these arrays for months and they work just fine for me. Unfortunately, I
tried to modify some of them and that is where I got into trouble.
What I was really asking is, "How do I delete them" ... what ever I do,
whether it be to try and delete them or to modify them, as soon as I click
on the formula I get:
""You cannot change only part of an array""
Many thanks, James

Hi - it's James again with his Calc cashbook and another challenge ...
I have used array functions to add up all the debits and credits for
differing categories, eg:
my code, in Column A, for vehicle expenses is "v" and if I want to
know how much I spent on vehicles in the financial year ending
30/6/07, this formula will answer my query:
{=SUM((E7:E2000)*(A7:NAB.A2000="v")*(B7:B2000>=D4)*(B7:B2000<=D5))}
where D4 is the start date, 1/JULY/06 in this case, and
where D5 is the end date, or 30/JUNE/07, and
where E is the debits column (expenditure), and
where B is the Date column
In pseudocode: if(code=i) and if(D4<=Date<=D5) then SUM(Column E)
The actual formula I use is complicated by the addition of
Sheet-names and generous usage of the $ symbol to make all references
Absolute (as distinct from Relative), so the formula does not change
when copied from cell to cell, and I think I might have made a typos
because it did not work properly when tested.
In the end, I selected all the cells and hit Delete, and they all went
blank, as one would expect.
Now, when I try to enter anything into the cell I get a pop-up error
message saying:
"You cannot change only part of an array"
If I select a cell the array formula is still there, but if I try to
delete it, I get:
"You cannot change only part of an array"
and if I try and edit it (or delete it) in the formula bar, I get:
"You cannot change only part of an array"
So, I am sorta stuck ... I cannot delete my formulas and cannot
proceed until I do.
Any advice or suggestion would-be most welcome.
James
I think you do not need arrays for this. See the attached to give you
an idea.
