e.g. I have a list of race results:
A B C D E F...
NAME P. RACE1 RACE2 RACE
abc =? 1 3 3
bcd 3 2 4
cde 4 4 2
def 2 1 1
and another sheet with points for each result:
A B
PLACE POINT
1 10
2 5
3 2
4 1
Is it possible to get the total points in sheet1 column B based on the race results in column C-E..?
Is it a connection from VLOOKUP and SUM?
Yes, that's possible. You can use a SUMPRODUCT formula for that. You may use this one in column B:
=SUMPRODUCT((C2:E2=$A$13:$A$16)*$B$13:$B$16)
Your result will look like this:
This is an array function. The term C2:E2=$A$13:$A$16 will check for race 1 to 3 if it was 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th place. This will result in an "imaginary" array of TRUE and FALSE. For name "abc", it will look like that.
Those results are then multiplied with the points from B13:B16 and the sum is formed.
In Excel O365, one could use:
Formula in B2:
=SUM(VLOOKUP(C2:E2,H$2:I$5,2))

Thanks so much for looking at my question! I am trying to create a formula that subtracts a specific value from another formula. However, that specific value may change.
Example:
A B C D
1 1 100 =(2000 - ( if A = 1, i want to subtract the C value where B =1))
1 2 250
1 3 310
1 4 .
2 1
2 2 =((2000 - ( if A = 2, i want to subtract the C value where B =1))
2 3
2 4
3 1
3 2
3 3
3 4
(A,B,C,D are the columns)
Hopefully this makes sense! I am trying to subtract the C value that goes along with the B1 value for each different A.
I was thinking an index match of some sort but wasnt exactly sure how to do that when the A's change. Thanks so much in advance for help!
INDIRECT or INDEX functions can help you. See this answer.
Would something like a nested if function work for you here? For example:
=IF(A2=1,IF(B2=1,2000-C2,"Enter calculation if B2<>1"),"Enter calculation if A2"<>1)
If this works, then you can simply copy/paste the function down the rows in column D.
Hello I have a table shown below where I have letters in column 1, and min and max ranges for column 2 and 3. I am trying to retrieve the final number in column 4.
I know I can use a VLOOKUP and set the range as TRUE to get the last column. However, how would I factor in multiple columns/criteria to find match the correct range with the correct letter.
For example, I can would like to get value 4 from the last column. I would have to match with "B" and it would be between 0 and $50,000.
A 0 $50,000 1
A $50,001 $100,000 2
A $100,001 $250,000 3
B 0 $50,000 4
B $50,001 $100,000 5
B $100,001 $250,000 6
C 0 $50,000 7
C $50,001 $100,000 8
C $100,001 $250,000 9
Thank you!
Two ways:
If the pattern is the same as to the breaks of the dollar amounts then use this:
=INDEX(D:D,MATCH(G1,A:A,0)+MATCH(H1,$B$1:$B$3)-1)
Where MATCH(G1,A:A,0) returns the first row where the ID is located and MATCH(H1,$B$1:$B$3) finds the relative location of the price in the first pattern. Change $B$1:$B$3 to encompass the whole pattern.
If the patterns are different then you can use this:
=SUMIFS(D:D,A:A,G1,B:B,"<=" & H1,C:C,">=" & H1)
One more for the future when Microsoft releases FILTER():
=FILTER(D:D,(A:A=G1)*(B:B<=H1)*(C:C>=H1))
This is entered normally and does not matter the pattern.
I had to do a little work with excel but I am stuck at the following point:
A B C D E F ....
1
2
3 "A" 1
4 "B" 0
5 "C" 1
6 "D" 2
7
8
9
My table looks something like this.
In B3:B6 I do have 4 names, in C3:C6, I do have the corresponding scores.
Now, I would like to order the names by their given points and display them in E3:E6
I am not that familiar with excel so I am very happy for any help.
Greetings,

First get the numbers in order with Large Function:
=LARGE($C$3:$C$6,ROW(A1))
Put that in F3 and copy down 4. It will list the numbers in order.
Then in E3 put this formula:
=INDEX(B:B,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($C$3:$C$6)/($C$3:$C$6=F3),COUNTIF($F$3:F3,F3)))
Which looks up the corresponding name.
I have a column of values, and then I have two columns with simple marking like just an 'X':
A B C
1
2
3 VALUES: PERSON1: PERSON2
4 500 X
5 180 X
6 100 X
7 200 X
8 TOTAL:
9 =SUM(A4:A8) ?? ??
Can I create a statement that will check that if a box has an X in it the value of the A-column cell on the same row will be subtracted from the total summation?
In the example above PERSON2 should have a statement with the values '=980-180-100' which is 700.
I can easily do it for one cell: =IF(B4="X", A9-A4) but I can't quite get around with doing with multiple.
I suspect:
=SUM(A4:A7)-SUMIF(B4:B7,"X",A4:A7)
is what you are after, or perhaps:
=SUM(A4:A7)-2*SUMIF(B4:B7,"X",A4:A7)
but a better solution is from #barry houdini:
in B9 try this formula copied to C9 =SUMIF(B4:B7,"<>X",$A4:$A7)
You can use something like
=$A9-SUMIFS($A4:$A7,B4:B7,"X")
Let's say I have this data
4 1
4 0
4 1
3 0
5 1
How do I write a function (using SUM or something like that) to add all the values on the left, if the values on the right are 1, or true
The total should be 13
Assuming columns A and B are used...
Check just for 1:
=SUMIF(B1:B5,"=1",A1:A5)
If you want to check for TRUE also:
=SUMIF(B1:B5,"=1",A1:A5) + SUMIF(B1:B5,"=TRUE",A1:A5)
sort by column b, then auto-sum the values you want in column a. cheap & lazy solution.
