I am looking for a formula to Sum all the rows in A column, the rows count is not known as user can enter runtime. Every formula on google is taking nth row range.
Since you have used table you can use the table name references in your formula. Every time the table size increase or decrease in row numbers, the formula will adjust to the new range, given the same header name is used.
So the formula for column A (entered in cell H10) would look like this:
=SUM(Table1[[#All];[Value]])
Table1: Is the name of your table. Click on your table and go to "Design" (see picture). At the very left you have the table name, in my case "Table1".
[#All]: Defines what you want to look at, in this case all values.
[Value]: Which column (header name of the specific column) you want to evaluate.
The formula for the other looks like (cell H11):
=SUM(Table1[[#All];[Mortgage]])
and (for cell H12):
=SUM(Table1[[#All];[Amount]])
There are function options with Table use that Option to add sum of that column then you'll get sum of column A when use that option!
Check this link: https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/2014/10/31/excel-sum-column/ -- check "Convert your data into Excel table to get total for your column" in this article.
it has detailed information how to do various operation with sum!

Many thanks for your help in advance. I need help finding a way to sum specific values in the Grand Total row of a Pivot Table based on the corresponding column label. The challenge is that the row that the Grand Total is in isn't fixed, meaning in one instance the Grand Total may be in row 9, then after data addition/removal, it will be in a different row. Also, multiple columns match the criteria.
The attached image show what the Pivot Table looks like. I2 and J2 show the output I need regardless of which row the Grand Totals are in.
Credit to #DavidLead for pointing me in the right direction. The three screenshots attached to this answer are a supplement to the guide for using the GETPIVOTDATA formula in excel. I am using Excel 365.
In the first screenshot, you will see the raw data reformatted to have our columns, i.e. Name, B, A, and Month. Cell N2 shows the total/sum for A. in January and the formula is shown in the second screen capture, Cell O2 shows the sum/total for A. for all months combined. The formula is also shown in the second screenshot.
Regardless, you will see in the formulas for N2 and O2 that I reference the cell $G$1. This tells the formula which pivot table to look for the "A.". Then in the third position of the formula, I reference the Pivot field list column name "Month", and in the third position, I specify "January".
The formula can return 1 to 126 pairs of field names and item names that describe the data that you want to retrieve. In my case, I could have retrieved the total for John in January or for all months.
For example,
Total for John in January
=GETPIVOTDATA("A.",$G$1,"Month","January", "Names","John")
Total for John, January thru March
=GETPIVOTDATA("A.",$G$1,"Month","January", "Names","John")+GETPIVOTDATA("A.",$G$1,"Month","February", "Names","John")+GETPIVOTDATA("A.",$G$1,"Month","March", "Names","John")
The benefit of this formula is that if the Grand Total row changes I will always get the sum of A. and/or B. for all months. It is dynamic and is what I needed to accomplish.
Formula Explanation
`=GETPIVOTDATA("A.",$G$1,"Month","January")`
"A." = the column that has the data I need
$G$1 = the reference to the Pivot Table (Microsoft's
knowledge article states this can a reference to any cell, range of
cells, or named range of cells in a PivotTable. This information is
used to determine which PivotTable contains the data that you want to
retrieve.)
"Month" = the column I need
"January" = the name of the row for the total I need
To get the total for "A." from January thru March, I use the following formula:
=GETPIVOTDATA("A.",$G$1,"Month","January")+GETPIVOTDATA("A.",$G$1,"Month","February")+GETPIVOTDATA("A.",$G$1,"Month","March")
The most important factor of this formula is that you reference a cell in your pivot table. In my case, I used $G$1. I also tried other cells in the pivot table as reference cells, and the formula returned the correct values.
I hope this helps the next person who needs a similar solution and finds this answer. Please give this a vote if it helped you.

enter image description hereI have an excel file with at least 30,000 different ranges, of different size that are not formatted as tables, just data.
I have column F with quantities, column G with unit price and col J with totals cost (FxG).
I am tasked with summing each range in column J and placing the product under column G.
Any advice how to avoid doing 30,000 manual sums between the data?
Are the ranges to sum all vectors as opposed to matrices?
If that's the case, couldn't you just set the range equal to the longest vector, since blank cells are essentially equal to zero when summing?
I not really get your question, but hope this could help.
Do you want this action?
If yes, see this jpg
I would like to recommend you to change the data arrangement so it will be easy to manipulate or analysis etc. You might create a table data which contain with all purchasing information and another table data to summarize the information, Excel Pivot table will give you full control of your data.
In excel select all data, click on tab data > Outline> Subtotal
from dialogue box select the following options
at each change in: "Customer Name"
use function: "sum"
Add subtotal to: "Total"
Now apply filter on your data in "Customer name" column and search for "Total"
in the filtered dataset set each visible cell of "J" column equal to "G"
remove filter and paste data of "J" column as value
For my question I am trying to reduce a very large amount of data using the =countif function in regards to a specific Employee ID (using =vlookup).
In Column 'A' I have every employee ID listed only once. In columns B, C, D, E, and F I would like to count every time that employee has been Hired, Promoted, received a Pay Increase, been Demoted and Fired, respectively.
In Column 'I,' I have again a list of employee ID's and in 'J' each time one of those actions were implemented.
Since there are more than 10,000 employee iterations that exist in column 'I' this is why I am trying to condense these down to numeric values in columns B:F.
ACTUAL QUESTION: Is there anyway to 'nest' these two functions in order to get the required results that I want?
Thanks in advance.
You can use Countifs with multiple conditions (not Countif, which takes only one condition)
Consider the following screenshot. The formula in cell B2 is
=COUNTIFS($I:$I,$A2,$J:$J,B$1)
Copy across and down. Note the position of the $ signs. They are important. The column references for columns I and J are absolute, and will not change when the formula is copied across. The reference to $A2 will always refer to column A, but the row will adjust when copied down. The reference to B$1 will always refer to row 1, but the column will adjust when the formula is copied across.
You can do a similar thing without any formulas at all, using a pivot table. Click a cell anywhere in the data in columns I or J, then click Insert > Pivot Table. In the pivot table pane that appears on the right, drag the Employee ID to the Rows area, drag the action to the Columns area and drag either of the fields to the Values area. The result looks like this:
Look Ma, no formulas!!
I have a table A and table B. Table A is the input table and table B is the output table. Table A has 2 Columns; Name and Quantity, and table B also has 2 Columns Name and Quantity, but the difference is that table B already has 48 names written inside it and the Quantity section is empty, And the whole of table A is empty. I'm not doing a very good job of explaining stuff. I know but if you are with me so far then.
Now I go to table 1 and put in the following data in the syntax [Name,Quantity] : {Sam,10},{Lilly,15},{Sam,25}. After putting in that data, I want the appropriate quantity cell in table B corresponding to the names to be equal to the total quantity each name has in table B.
In this case I want the output of table B show me {Sam,35},{Lilly,15} and the rest of the Names = 0.
I would prefer if this method stays in the terms of excel formula calculations and no macros or VBA as it will be easier for me to integrate this with the other functions of the spreadsheet I'm making. But I would not mind having alternatives.
If your data format is like this:
You could use either SUMIF or a Pivot Table
If you use SUMIF, then you could list all the names with zero's.
If you use a Pivot Table, a list of names will be generated automatically.
For SUMIF, if the Quantity column of Table B starts in B2, you could use a formula like:
=SUMIF(Table_A[Name],A2,Table_A[Quantity])
and fill down to last row.
If Table A is not a "real" table, just substitute the range references for the appropriate columns.
Results of the SUMIF method:
If you want to use a Pivot Table, then with the cursor in Table A, select Insert / Pivot table. Then drag Name to the Row Labels area, and Quantity to the Values area. Format to taste.
I am trying to look up the value in one column and pull the number from another column.
Of course, I could use the simple V-lookup or Match.
However, the first column of data has multiple entries that are the same. If I Vlookup it is just going to pull the first number in the second column.
I need to pull each number from the second column and somehow add them together. Despite the fact I have multiple entries.
If there is a way to consolidate the multiple entries in 1st column while also summing up the numbers in the 2nd, that would be great.
I would recommend a Pivot Table. To create one, select a cell in your data range (which needs to have column names in the first row. Choose Insert / Pivot Table from the Ribbon and select the New Worksheet option for the location.
In the Pivot Table list on the new worksheet, drag the name of the first column to the Row Labels box and the name of the second column to the Values box. The name in the Values box should turn to Sum of <2nd column name>.
The Pivot Table will now show a sorted list of the column 1 values and the summed values of column 2. In the example, you'll see that
Does SUMIF do what you are looking for?
