Re: Array formulas won't recognize external data from Microsoft Query



External data, depending on it's source, quite often comes in as data, try either setting the data in MSQuery if you database accepts something like the Val or Value functions, or copy a 1 and select your imported data and Edit>Paste special...Values and multiply should 'force then to be seen as numbers

I set up an external query to pull data from an Oracle database into a ***
in my excel file. I have array formulas on another *** that use the
external data as their data source for calculations. The problem is that all
of the array formula results are zero.

I found that if I re-type the data in external data cells, the data is
recognized and my array formula sums increase accordingly. I think there is
some kind of hidden formatting on the external data, but can't find it.
Please help.

Thanks.
