Conditional Formula for excel - excel

I am trying to do addition/subtraction from a total of one column, based on the value of a different column.
Here are the details:
Column H2:H61 has 3 possible values: Complete, Incomplete, Does Not exist.
Column I2:I61 are integers.
What I'm trying to accomplish is, for each Row in column H, evaluate if the value is "Complete". If it is, then, in a running total cell, convert the corresponding Row in I to a negative number and add it to the total. If it isn't, leave the number a positive number and add it to the total.
Example:
H2 = "Complete" I2 = 1.5
h3 = "Incomplete" I3 = 0.5
h4 = "Complete" I4 = 2.0
The total is 3
EDIT
Here is the full scope of it:

So, the total values of I and L is currently 40.
What I'm trying to do is, for example, if H2 = "Complete", then I want to subtract I2 (which is 1.5), which would change the total value to 38.5.
H3 is "Does Not Exist" and != "Complete", so the total would still be 38.5.
H4 is "Complete", so the total would be 37.5
so on and so forth. Hope this helps clarify for everyone!

Try following formula in K2 cell then drag and down.
=SUMIF($H$2:$H2,"Complete",$I$2:$I2)-SUMIF($H$2:$H2,"Incomplete",$I$2:$I2)

I guess you want something like:
=40-SUMIF(H:H,"Completed",I:I)
assuming you do not have the 40 total in either Column H or I.

I figured it out.
What I did was in a separate cell I made the following formula:
=SUMIF(H2:H61,"Completed",I2:I61)
From there, I used that cell to create the following formula to get the result I wanted:
=P31 - (S30+S31)
The S30 and S31 cells are there because I was counting for each "completed" value in two separate columns.

Excel #DIV/0! issue with calculating increase

I have the following formula in cell "D2"
=IF((C2-$B2)/$B2>0.2,1,0)
In short in column D I want to return a "1" if the value in Column C is 20% or more than the value in Column B or "0" if not.
For row 2 it works perfectly. However, for row 3 it returns a #DIV/0! due to column B being 0 but I would like it to return a "1" as the value in column C is more than 20% than the value in column B. For row 4 I would like to return a "0" as column C is not more than 20% than the value in column B.
Many thanks in advance, Alan.
It's a simple inequation. Multiply both parts by $B2 and you'll skip the division by 0 problem. Like this:
=IF((C2-$B2)>0.2*$B2,1,0)
Also, you can make it a little shorter taking off the IF function (and the extra brackets i previously left there to make it easier to compare):
=(C2-$B2>0.2*$B2)*1

Summing the result of nested IF statements in one cell

I've got a pretty complex conditional formula that works for each row of a column (sorry, no excel 2016 IFS) and I would like to get the sum of all instances in a range in one formula without having to make all the rows as a middle step.
Done this quite a bit with other stuff, but for some reason I'm stuck on this one.
The formula per cell is:
=IF((IF(IF(AND(ISNUMBER(Test_Samples!B2),Test_Samples!B2>0.1),Reference_Dataset!$H:$H,"")="N",Test_Samples!B2,0)<1),0,IF(IF(IF(AND(ISNUMBER(Test_Samples!B2),Test_Samples!B2>0.1),Reference_Dataset!$H:$H,"")="N",Test_Samples!B2,0)<2,1,IF(IF(IF(AND(ISNUMBER(Test_Samples!B2),Test_Samples!B2>0.1),Reference_Dataset!$H:$H,"")="N",Test_Samples!B2,0)<5,2,IF(IF(IF(AND(ISNUMBER(Test_Samples!B2),Test_Samples!B2>0.1),Reference_Dataset!$H:$H,"")="N",Test_Samples!B2,0)<13,3,IF(IF(IF(AND(ISNUMBER(Test_Samples!B2),Test_Samples!B2>0.1),Reference_Dataset!$H:$H,"")="N",Test_Samples!B2,0)<34,4,IF(IF(IF(AND(ISNUMBER(Test_Samples!B2),Test_Samples!B2>0.1),Reference_Dataset!$H:$H,"")="N",Test_Samples!B2,0)<91,5,IF(IF(IF(AND(ISNUMBER(Test_Samples!B2),Test_Samples!B2>0.1),Reference_Dataset!$H:$H,"")="N",Test_Samples!B2,0)<245,6,IF(IF(IF(AND(ISNUMBER(Test_Samples!B2),Test_Samples!B2>0.1),Reference_Dataset!$H:$H,"")="N",Test_Samples!B2,0)<666,7,))))))))
I would like to transform it to a formula that sums everything from the range B:B (or B2:B499) in one go.
I tried some SUM and SUMIF(S) stuff and changing B2 to B:B. That doesn't seem to work.
Oh, if someone has a tip to reduce the nested IF formula to something more readable, that's welcome as well. The idea of the formula is to transform counts to classes.
The datasets that are referred to look like this:
Test_Samples:
Reference_Dataset:
The If statements make up a classification as follows:
0= 0
1= 1
2= 2-4
3= 5-12
4= 13-33
5= 34-90
6= 91-244
7= 245-665
8= 666+
Here you see a count of 2 in "Test_samples", and it is labelled "N" in "Reference_dataset", so the result classifies it as "2" (to avoid confusion: if the count was 5 it would be labelled "3" according to the class criteria).
Say if there are 5 instances with result "2" in the range B2:B499, the sum should be 10.
Create a lookup table like this for your "result value < X" to summarize the If statements into a single lookup table:
Test_Samples B Value
0
1
2
5
13
34
91
245
666
In this example, i've put that on the same worksheet that the formula is placed, in cells A1:A10 (header in A1, so data values in A2:A10). Then you can simplify your formula and make it reference the range of your data like this:
=SUM(MATCH(IF(ISNUMBER(Test_Samples!$B$2:$B$499)*(Reference_Dataset!$H$2:$H$499="N"),Test_Samples!$B$2:$B$499,0),$A$2:$A$10)-1)
Note that this is an array formula and as such must be confirmed with CtrlShiftEnter (instead of just Enter).

I am trying to find a formula that will allow me to calculate MAX/MIN without calculating anything after the current row

I want to use the Max/Min function to calculate the minimum number up to the current row, but not count anything after that row. See example below:
A B C
1 10 =MIN(A1:A1) I Want B1 to only count MIN from A1 to A1 from here, then
2 14 =MIN(A1:A2) from here I want B2 to count MIN from A1 to A2,
3 9 =MIN(A1:A3) Then A1 to A3,
4 6 =MIN(A1:A4) etc,
5 14 =MIN(A1:A5) etc.
I could go back and update each row manually, but I have over 700 rows that I want all this to apply to. Is there anyone who can help me with a solution to this problem?
Use this formula in B1, and copy downwards:
=MIN($A$1:$A1)
This is called maintaining referential integrity while writing any excel formula. It should give the desired result on copy towards right or downwards.

Excel: Obtain a column by sorting anotr one values

I need to automatically obtain a sorted column of values from another given column values, like in the sample:
I have I need A unchanged, and also B obtained from A
A A B
-----------------
1 1 0
0 0 0
3 3 1
8 8 3
0 0 8
I mean if the values from A changes, the B should change accordignly...
Is that possible in MS Excel?
Here a sandbox and sample:
http://1drv.ms/1SkqMhS
If you put The formula =SMALL(A:A,ROW()) in B1 and copy down then the cells in B will be linked to the cells in A in such a way that the numbers in B will be the numbers in A in sorted order. This won't be efficient for larger ranges but will work fine for small to medium size ranges.
If you want the numbers to start in a lower row, say B2 because you have a header in B1, adjust ROW() to something like ROW()-1.
A word of warning: Use of ROW() can make a spreadsheet somewhat fragile in that formulas that involve it can change their meaning if rows are inserted or deleted or the block containing the formula is moved to somewhere else. Rather than using ROW(), there is something to be said for adding a helper column which numbers the data in A (which would then be in e.g. B) and referring to these numbers rather than small. For example, in:
If I put the formula
=SMALL($B$2:$B$5,A2)
In C1 and copy down, it works as intended. In response to a question you raised in the comments, I added still another column which gives an index where the corresponding value occurs. To do this I wrote in D2 (then copied) the formula
=MATCH(C2,$B$2:$B$5,0)
Of course. Highlight your range and in the Data tab, click "Sort", then you can choose how you want to sort your data:
If column B has information that is to be used with Column A (like next to A1 is "Car"), and you want to sort the whole table, based on Column A, then just select Columns A and B, then sort by column A.
Found the answer, thanks to John Coleman !
Just some minor details like cell value fixing (with $, like A$2)and the -1+ROW adjustment for the 1 header row!

Keep excel offset within worksheet

I have a table like this:
Length 4
year 1 2 3 4 5
A 100 400 300 200 400
B
And in column B I want a sum of A from the past [length] years. For this I figured I needed an OFFSET, so my function is (for year 2):
=SUM.IF(OFFSET(B3;0;0;1;-B1);">0")
The if statement is used so it doesn't give an error when it reaches the edge of the table, but for years 2 and 3 the OFFSET range is outside of the worksheet so it doesn't work. How can I specify a condition that it just doesn't sum anything that isn't on the worksheet?
In A2:
=SUM(INDEX(1:1,COLUMNS($A:A)):INDEX(1:1,MAX(1,COLUMNS($A:A)-3)))
Copy to the right as required.
Regards
Ok, it was hard to decypher the question:
When you ask column B, I guess you mean row 4, right?
You don't need SUMIF, because SUM doesn't count empty cells or cells
with non-numeric value.
The reference to the length value should be absolute, so it doesn't
change as you copy the formula:
$B$1
OFFSET's Width value cannot be negative, rather have the Cols value =
-[Length]:
OFFSET(C3;0; -$B$1...
(Now you are referencing 4 columns left to C3)
Make sure it is not out of the worksheet by not letting more than the [column number of the given cell minus 1] be referenced left from the cell:
OFFSET(C3;0; -MIN(COLUMN(C3)-1;$B$1)...
That is the starting point of your range to sum; you should sum it
up to recent year's value. So the correct formula in C4 is:
=SUM(OFFSET(C3;0;-MIN(COLUMN(C3)-1;$B$1)):C3)
