External link with dynamic range in sumproduct - excel

I'm trying to built a formula in excel in order to have a SUMPRODUCT in an external file. I have to "point" SUMPRODUCT in a different column every week. Example: during w32 SUMPRODUCT points on column AA, during w33 it points on column AB etc.
This is the working formula with SUMIFS and OFFSET:
=SUMIFS(OFFSET('[FEDE.xlsx]Avanzamento WO'!$AM$4;0;WEEKNUM(TODAY())-29;1000);'[FEDE.xlsx]Avanzamento WO'!$K$4:$K$1003;B5)
This is the working formula with SUMPRODUCT (with static range):
=SUMPRODUCT(--('[FEDE.xlsx]Avanzamento WO'!$K$3:$K$10000=B4);'[FEDE.xlsx]Avanzamento WO'!$AP$3:$AP$10000)
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance to everybody

Are you willing to use your original OFFSET formula? In such case, you can apply either:
=SUMPRODUCT(--('Avanzamento WO'!$K$3:$K$1000=B5),OFFSET('Avanzamento WO'!$AM$3:$AM$1000,0,WEEKNUM(TODAY())-29))
or (version 2):
=SUMPRODUCT(--('Avanzamento WO'!$K$3:$K$1000=B5),OFFSET('Avanzamento WO'!$AM$3,0,WEEKNUM(TODAY())-29,998))
Note that I am using a range that ends in row 1000. SUMPRODUCT formula requires all ranges (arrays) to be of the same size. Your original SUMIFS formula was ending with row 1,000 while SUMPRODUCT approach was ending with 10,000, so I wasn't sure which one was correct. Also your SUMIFS was pointing to cell B5 while SUMPRODUCT was analysing cell B4.

Oh and I am using , instead of ; so you would also need to have it adjusted :)

Excel - How to count the number of distinct texts of a specific date inside a table?

I'm trying to count the number of distinct text from a specific date in a data table.
Data Sample with expect result :
I was able to figure out how to count the distinct element from a range I specify, because I can determine the first and last row containing the date.
=SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF(B2:B15,B2:B15))
I have tried to modify my formula so that it determines the cell range by itself but without success.
I searched for an answer, using a combination of CELL and MAXIFS, example below, but Excel does not accept the formula.
=CELL("row",MAXIFS(A2:A15,A2:a15,D2))
I've looked at the INDEX formula, but I can't figure out how to do what I want to do. 😑
Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or what I should be doing instead?
Thanks, I appreciate it!
If you have Office 365 and the new Dynamic Arrays, this sort of formula has become ridiculously easy.
This formula in cell E3:
=COUNTA(UNIQUE(FILTER($B$2:$B$15,$A$2:$A$15=D3)))
Copy down.
You can also generate the unique list of dates with this formula in D3, which spills down automatically and does not need to be copied.
=UNIQUE(A2:A15)
It wasn't easy, but by separating each step of the problem, I was able to solve it.
Note that my solution only works because my dates are sorted.
Here's the final formula in the cell "One formula to rule them all":
=SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF(INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(ADDRESS((MATCH(D3,$A$2:$A$15,0)+1),2),":",ADDRESS(MAX(($A$2:$A$15=D3)*ROW($A$2:$A$15)),2))),INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(ADDRESS((MATCH(D3,$A$2:$A$15,0)+1),2),":",ADDRESS(MAX(($A$2:$A$15=D3)*ROW($A$2:$A$15)),2)))))
Here are my explanations of my process:
Formula if I select the range :
=SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF(B2:B15,B2:B15))
Formula to get the first iteration
=ADDRESS((MATCH(D3,$A$2:$A$15,0)+1),2)
Formula to get the last iteration
{=ADDRESS(MAX(($A$2:$A$15=D3)*ROW($A$2:$A$15)),2)}
Create range from two addresses
=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(F3,":",G3))
Formula giving me the expect result
=SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF(INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(F3,":",G3)),INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(F3,":",G3))))

How to simplify 64 levels of nesting formula in Excel?

I encountered "64 levels of nesting" issue while working on my formula. Is there any way to simplify this formula? This formula worked fine up from 10 to 500 (G:G) but once over 510 something, it encountered "64 levels of nesting" issue. I found some solutions that involved lookup and match-index, but I can't see where/how to implement it here.
Formula is in cell B3:
=IF(B2<=$G$2,B2+($E$2*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$2,B2<=$G$3),B2+($E$3*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$3,B2<=$G$4),B2+($E$4*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$4,B2<=$G$5),B2+($E$5*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$5,B2<=$G$6),B2+($E$6*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$6,B2<=$G$7),B2+($E$7*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$7,B2<=$G$8),B2+($E$8*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$8,B2<=$G$9),B2+($E$9*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$9,B2<=$G$10),B2+($E$10*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$10,B2<=$G$11),B2+($E$11*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$11,B2<=$G$12),B2+($E$12*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$12,B2<=$G$13),B2+($E$13*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$13,B2<=$G$14),B2+($E$14*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$14,B2<=$G$15),B2+($E$15*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$15,B2<=$G$16),B2+($E$16*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$16,B2<=$G$17),B2+($E$17*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$17,B2<=$G$18),B2+($E$18*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$18,B2<=$G$19),B2+($E$19*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$19,B2<=$G$20),B2+($E$20*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$20,B2<=$G$21),B2+($E$21*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$21,B2<=$G$22),B2+($E$22*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$22,B2<=$G$23),B2+($E$23*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$23,B2<=$G$24),B2+($E$24*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$24,B2<=$G$25),B2+($E$25*B2),IF(AND(B2>$G$25,B2<=$G$26),B2+($E$26*B2))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Cells $A2:$A26 & cells $E2:$E26 are variable. Cells $D2:$D26 are just my indicator. Others are constant value.
Cells $B2:$B26 will calculate the formula $A2+$A2* percentage. The percentage is based on the value which is in cells $E2:$E26. The value is then determine by the value in cells $A2:$A26.
Formula in cells $B2:$B26 are as previous formula dragged down.
Example:
If the cost is 50. The value of percentage will be taken from cell $E$7. In this case is 10 thus returning the value in $B$6 to $A6+$A6*10=55
Please refer to ss 2.

If you reach the nesting limit that nearly always means there's an easier way....
You should be able to do this much more simply with a lookup type formula, e.g.
=B2+B2*IF(B2<G$2,E$2,INDEX(E$3:E$26,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(B2>G$2:G$25,0),0))
This finds the first value in column G which is > B2 and then gets the required value from the next row in column E
The only thing this formula doesn't do is impose an upper limit on B2 (yours is the G26 value 250). If that's an issue you can just add an extra IF to cater for that
You might want to rework your tables but an INDEX/MATCH with a relative lookup on ascending data will return the correct percentage.
=b2*index(e2:e26, match(b2, g2:g26, 1))
Not 100% sure I understand your formula/intent. I think I got it...if not please clarify.
add another column that does the math in column H. enter this formula and drag down.
=($B$2+(E2*$B$2))
in cell B3 enter this formula
=VLOOKUP(ROUNDUP(B2,-1),G:H,2,FALSE)

COUNTIF formula with multiple criteria and table

I have a list of four developers (A1="Dev1", A2="Dev2", A3="Dev3" and A4="Dev3").
Within a working week calendar, I have 5 columns, one for each day of the week (C1="Monday", D1="Tuesday", E1="Wednesday", F1="Thursday, G1="Friday").
If developer Dev3 has a day off on Tuesday, I'd go to D2 and input: "Dev3".
On H2, I have the following formula:
=COUNTIF(C2:G2,"*Dev1*")+COUNTIF(C2:G2,"*Dev2*")+COUNTIF(C2:G2,"*Dev3*")+COUNTIF(C2:G2,"*Dev4*")
In the scenario above, I'd have the value of H2 being '1'. If I edit D2 cell to something like this: "Dev3,Dev4", the result of H2 would be '2'.
This formula works well for what I need but I know that there is a more elegant way that I could use the list of the developers on A:A column, instead of creating a single COUNTIF element per developer.
Could anyone help me achieving the usage of the list A:A instead of creating a single COUNTIF element for every single developer, instead?
sheet's screenshot:
   
Either a SUM/COUNTIF function array¹ formula or a SUMPRODUCT function should be able to count correctly providing there are no 'false positives' like Dev1 found in Dev12.
'array formula
=SUM(COUNTIF(C2:G2, "*"&A$1:INDEX(A:A, MATCH("zzz",A:A ))&"*"))
'SUMPRODUCT
=SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH(A$1:INDEX(A:A, MATCH("zzz",A:A )), C2:G2)))
Note that in both cases, the list of developers from column A has been cut down to the minimum number of cells with,
A$1:INDEX(A:A, MATCH("zzz",A:A ))
    
¹ Array formulas need to be finalized with Ctrl+Shift+Enter↵. Once entered into the first cell correctly, they can be filled or copied down or right just like any other formula. Try and reduce your full-column references to ranges more closely representing the extents of your actual data. Array formulas chew up calculation cycles logarithmically so it is good practise to narrow the referenced ranges to a minimum. See Guidelines and examples of array formulas for more information.

SUMPRODUCT with SUMIFS

=SUMIFS($B:$B*$N:$N,$N:$N,">=5",$N:$N,"<10")
I want to multiply 2 columns and sum all instances of it, conditioned only on one of the columns.The formula gives an error because I multiply in the first argument, which just should be a single number I guess. I tried using SUMPRODUCT too, but as column B does not have a condition, it doesn't work. Can anyone advice please. Thanks in advance.
The equivalent SUMPRODUCT formula for your SUMIFS attempt is:
=SUMPRODUCT(B:B,N:N,--(N:N>=5)*(N:N<10))
But you should avoid using full column references in SUMPRODUCT. If you can't limit range sizes, consider using dynamic named ranges.
try:
=SUMPRODUCT(B:B,IF(N:N>=5,IF(N:N<10,N:N,""),""))
with array ctrl+shift+enter

Dynamical SUMIF command

If it is possible, I'd like to create a formula that will allow me the following:
Formula must be in the entire column or in this example, in the range B1:B5. The formula is based on a condition, that when the total sum of cells from column A is lower D1, than it gives "X". If the total sum is over D1, then it gives an empty field - "".
In this example the total sum of the cells, that are over D1 value is in the first 3 rows, hence the three X-es, and then it stops.

.
I presume it would be possible to do this with multiple SUMIF commands, but does anyone know a smoother solution for this?
Thanks!
You can do this easily by using an absolute reference for the starting point of a SUM and using a relative reference for the end point. When copied down, this formulas works fine.
=IF(SUM($A$1:A1)<$D$1,"x","")
Results
Try this
=IF(SUM(OFFSET(A1,0,0,$A$1:A1,1))>$D$1,"X","")
This formula should start at B1 and then you use auto-increment to populate other cells
