问题
This is the formula that I am currently using:
=SUMPRODUCT((INDIRECT("A2"):INDIRECT("A"&(ROW()-1))=A359)*1)
It works great, but I would like to use this instead:
=SUMPRODUCT((INDIRECT("A2"):INDIRECT("A"&(ROW()-1))=INDIRECT("A"&(ROW())))*1)
Unfortunately I get a #VALUE!. What am I doing wrong? Both INDIRECT("A"&ROW(())) and A359 return the same value, so I'm not sure why this won't work.
The reason I am not using a simple COUNTIF function is because I stripped my formula of all unnecessary components and only left the part that I am having trouble with (i.e. I need to use the SUMPRODUCT formula and a COUNTIF formula will not work)
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure why you need INDIRECT instead of ordinary cell references but the specific problem here is that ROW function returns an "array", even when it returns a single value, e.g. it returns {"x"} rather than just "x" - and in some circumstances Excel can't process that.
Try wrapping the second ROW function in a SUM function - the value doesn't change but it gets rid of the array, i.e.
=SUMPRODUCT((INDIRECT("A2"):INDIRECT("A"&(ROW()-1))=INDIRECT("A"&SUM(ROW())))*1)
This will eliminate #VALUE! eror while leaving the essential structure of your formula unchanged

Try this one:
=SUMPRODUCT((($A$2:INDEX($A:$A,ROW()-1))=INDEX($A:$A,ROW()))*1)
it gives you the same result.
But above formula is volatile. Instead I would use next one, say in B3 :
=SUMPRODUCT((($A$2:$A2)=$A3)*1)
