First, I know that DSUM and SUMIF works with the values in the entire cell. I would like to know if I can add values of cells where part of the string contains a particular text.
Let me explain. I use Google Sheets to manage my expenses, and gather data about my financials. I have something like this—
As you can see, above is a typical example of a day. Each cell has a category, and a description, and below it, the value in the next row. Now is it possible to add values of the cell containing the word "TAXIS"? This way I should be able to get a sum of expenses for a particular category.
I've tried a vast number of expense managers, but none that I am happy with. Finally have decided to go the manual route, and here I am. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
You can use wild card to add part of string. Suppose you data starts from C2 cell and data goes like your screenshot then you can use following formula.
=SUMIF(C2:K2,"*TAXIS*",C3:K3)
Obviously you have to customize formula based on your sheet from where data starts and ends.

I'm trying to write a formula that sums the Forecast Qty (dynamic range) based on multiple criteria. The criteria I want to base it on is the Part number and the month (Aug-21, Sep-21 etc). Each part can have multiple forecasts for each month, I've ran a match formula that shows the first row in which each part changes, but am not sure how to necessarily break it down further into months.
The previous pictures will give more insight into what I want. The first picture shows my raw data and the Match function I performed to find the first row of corresponding part. The second picture shows where I'd like the end result. The '100' in the selected cell is the result of the formula I have ran below.
=IF(VLOOKUP(F2,HIghJump!B:F,4,FALSE)>DATEVALUE("9/01/2021"),SUM(HIghJump!F2:F6))
My issue is how do I get the range in the sum formula (F2:F6), to change based on corresponding month. Beyond that, how do I get this formula to change based on different parts and different numbers of forecasts per month.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Use SUMIFS:
=SUMIFS(HIghJump!$F:$F,HIghJump!$B:$B,$F2,HIghJump!$E:$E,">="&EOMONTH(K$1,-1)+1,HIghJump!$E:$E,"<"&EOMONTH(K$1,0)+1)
This should go in L2 and copy down. Change the K$1 to each corresponding target date when moving over columns.
If I am understanding correctly and if you have the newest version of Excel, then FILTER will come in handy.
Try:
=SUM(FILTER(HIghJump!F:F,
(HIghJump!B:B=$F2)*(HIghJump!B:B>=K$1)*(HIghJump!B:B<EOMONTH(K$1,0)+1))
Note that it is generally considered best practice to use partial ranges (e.g. $B$1:$F$100 and $B$1:$B$100 instead of B:F and B:B), so that might be something you would want to consider if performance is of importance to you. Also make sure your sheet name is really "HIghJump" instead of "High Jump" or some variation.
Answer:
Had to create a column using MONTH(x), then base SUMIFS off that vs the original month column.
=SUMIFS(HIghJump!F:F,HIghJump!H:H,MONTH(K$1),HIghJump!B:B,F2)
I am pulling data from a database application and the format the data is in is not what I want it to be. This is how the data is currently formatted:
This is how I want it to be:
How would I achieve this?
Assuming that your first cell "Nominal Date: 04/01/2021" is in cell B2, place this formula in cell A2:
=IF(LEFT(B2,14)="Nominal Date: ",DATE(RIGHT(B2,4),MID(RIGHT(B2,10),4,2),LEFT(RIGHT(B2,10),2)),A1)
Then:
drag it to the end of the list;
copy-paste the values;
delete column D (the one with the "Hol");
sort the list according to column B (the one with names);
search for the rows with nominal dates and delete them.
You can also record a macro while doing it. Then you can go into VBA, read the code, refine it and improve it. If something goes wrong and you can't make it work properly, try to identify the problem, search for a solution and if you can't come up with one, come back and ask another question. We will be glad to help.
There are two sheets (sheet1 & sheet2) in my Excel file, it's like daily work routine (entry date, pickup date, dispatch date). Some details will change as per the work flow and even new entries will appear.
I just need to compare both files if a change occurred in one cell it must have to show entire row of sheet1 (I can't specify exact headline for that all details are too precious and it has more than 100 headlines).
So if there is any formula for that please let me know like
IF+VLOOKUP
please correct below given formula
=If(RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet1!A8:FM264,1,FAUX)=(RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet2!A8:FM257,1,FAUX);"";RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet1!A8:FM264,1,FAUX))
It's the French version.
Try this array formula in cell A1 of sheet3 and drag across and down.
=IF(AND(EXACT(Sheet1!1:1,Sheet2!1:1)),"",Sheet1!A1)
Not really sure what you're looking to do here, and I don't speak french, but it looks like you have an extra parenthesis before your 2nd RECHERCHEV function.
Try this :
=If(RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet1!A8:FM264,1,FAUX)=RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet2!A8:FM257,1,FAUX);"";RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet1!A8:FM264,1,FAUX))
Though I'm not sure why the IF function uses semi-colons, but the RECHERCHEV uses commas, so maybe this:
=If(RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet1!A8:FM264,1,FAUX)=RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet2!A8:FM257,1,FAUX),"",RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet1!A8:FM264,1,FAUX))
Also it seems you want the entire row to update, so I am not sure how this vlookup would work since the arrays start in different rows than the lookup value.
I'm looking for a little bit of help learning about how to use vlookup and iferror formulas together.
I am working as a licensing specialist within the insurance industry. My job requires that I frequently access more than a dozen spreadsheets that are emailed to us on a weekly basis from our clients. I am working to develop tools that allow us to consolidate that information on-demand to be able to run reports. I'm having no trouble using the VLookup function to pull data from various spreadsheets using an unique identifier. I do need some help, however, with a trickier formula.
I have put together a spreadsheet that allows me to put in the ID of the representative and it returns various bits of information, such as their name, license numbers, job codes, etc. Now I need to come up with a formula that takes the value returned in the job code field and searches another spreadsheet to return what training they are required to complete based on their job code. This spreadsheet is about 2000 rows, and is formatted with the training names spanning across the top row, job codes listed in column "A" and the word "yes" in each column that matches a training that the job code is required to take.
It looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/71COmfF.png
I need the formula in my reports spreadsheet to lookup the job code using VLookup and then return the column header if the cell has text.
The data will be loaded into this spreadsheet: https://i.imgur.com/2CyFURt.png
Here is the Vlookup formula I am using to get the job code:
=VLOOKUP(B3,'.\[Weekly_HR_Report_040615.xlsx]HR'!$A:$Q,10,FALSE)
How can I pair that same kind of formula with something like an IfError formula to return the column header if there is a "Yes" in the cell of the row that matches their job code?
I know that I can work through it as an array using VBA, but I would prefer to just place a formula in each cell so that I can pass this spreadsheet to another college when I move to a different role in the future and they won't struggle too much with adding to it.
Thanks for any help that you might be able to provide! I really appreciate it!
I would use INDEX and MATCH to cross reference and retrieve the titles where applicable:
=IF(INDEX('JobCode_Training.xlsx'!$A$1:$H$6,MATCH($H$5,'JobCode_Training.xlsx'!$A:$A,0),2)="Yes",INDEX('JobCode_Training.xlsx'!$A$1:$H$6,1,2),"")
=IF(INDEX('JobCode_Training.xlsx'!$A$1:$H$6,MATCH($H$5,'JobCode_Training.xlsx'!$A:$A,0),3)="Yes",INDEX('JobCode_Training.xlsx'!$A$1:$H$6,1,3),"")
=IF(INDEX('JobCode_Training.xlsx'!$A$1:$H$6,MATCH($H$5,'JobCode_Training.xlsx'!$A:$A,0),4)="Yes",INDEX('JobCode_Training.xlsx'!$A$1:$H$6,1,4),"")
etc.
I wasn't sure what your reference table is saved as, so you'll need to replace 'JobCode_Training.xlsx'! with whatever the correct path is.
Since you have multiple trainings that can apply to each jobcode, you'll either need to have multiple cells for the results, or you can concatenate them into one.
The following article from excelvlookuphelp.com answers your question I believe...
The Problem
You might be expecting that not all of your search values are going to return something from the search table. Instead of the formula returning #N/A you’d like the result to look different when your vlookup value isn’t found (either blank or an indicator to show that the value hasn’t been found or a zero if you’re wanting to do maths with the results).
The Solution
You can use the iferror function.
It works like this
= iferror (YourVlookupFormula, WhatToSayInsteadOf#N/A)
Here’s an example
=iferror(vlookup(D3,A:C,3,false), “No Value Found”)
Or if you would rather it was just blank then instead of having No Value Found, just have the two sets of inverted commas, like this
=iferror(vlookup(D3,A:C,3,false), “”)

i have a little problem with final formulas in one of my column. How to start. maybe i will explain what i have a then what i want.
i have an excel worksheet with 3 sheets. i want to record goods and what are these goods made of. first is sheet called Goods where is possible to put number of goods i want to make. In this case i want to make 1x sandwich1 and at the same time 3x sandwich2. i dont want make sandwich3 this time.
Second sheet is Matrix sheet where I record every good and what it is made of. This sheet is basic sheet and all other sheets take list of goods (resp. ingredients) from this sheet. Simply when i want to make sandwich1 i look at matrix and know that i need 1x1pc of egg + 1x5g of cheese. And for 3x sandwiche2 i need 3x10g of sausages.
Final sheet is called Ingredients. It is a list of used ingredients from Matrix sheet (exactly same order) to make these sandwiches. I want to fill formulas into column B which would go through one ingredient ofter ingredient and count needed amount of it. So it would look into matrix in the same row and where there is some number it would multiply with number of items from Goods sheet. The list of goods is also in the same order as in the matrix sheet.
I hope you understand now what i want and will try to help me. I think there will be SUMPRODUCT, SUMIF and maybe INDERECT functions but i am not that skilled in excel
thanks for any suggestions
You can use MMULT function here - it's an "array formula" which you need to enter in a range. You can do that like this:
In Ingredients worksheet enter this formula in B2
=MMULT(Matrix!C2:E4+0;Goods!B2:B4+0)
[I'm assuming you have a European version of Excel where ; is used to separate arguments]
Now select the whole range B2:B4, press F2 key to select formula and hold down CTRL and SHIFT keys and press ENTER. This "array enters" the formula in the range and you should now see curly braces like { and } around the formula and also the correct results.
You cannot change part of that array now, only the whole thing
Note that I'm assuming that the contents of Goods!A2:A4 will be the same as Matrix!C1:E1 and in the same order. You can extend the ranges to be as large as you like as long as that principle still holds
I suspect that this is an issue of "when all you have is a hammer, every problem is a nail". For reasons known only to you you are using a spreadsheet to solve a problem that databases were made to do. Any solution to this problem in a spreadsheet will be entirely dependent on the integrity of your data - add another column or get things out of order and it will fail.
That said, what you have in your link is effectively a pivot table and what you need is the unpivoted version of this - the instructions for getting this are here.
When you have that, you can use the various database functions in excel to get your answer.
