I am trying to create a SumIf formula that adds multiple columns together based on one criteria.
=sumif(F$8:F$58,F73,L$8:L$58+I$8:I$58)
This is giving me an error and will not add the two columns together.
You'd need
=sumif(F$8:F$58,F73,L$8:L$58) + sumif(F$8:F$58,F73,I$8:I$58)
I highly recommend you make it a practice to use SUMIFS instead of SUMIF even if you only have one criteria. The order makes more sense (what you're summing first), and it scales easier. Say you want to start adding more criteria, now you'll have to readjust the order of the inputs, whereas with Sumifs you simply just add to the criteria.
=sumifs(L$8:L$58,F$8:F$58,F73) + sumifs(I$8:I$58,F$8:F$58,F73)
In case of summing multiple ranges, you can also try SUMPRODUCT
=SUMPRODUCT((F$8:F$58=F73)*((L$8:L$58)+(I$8:I$58)))
The logic is similar to SUMIFS, (F$8:F$58=F73) sets the criteria while ((L$8:L$58)+(I$8:I$58)) defines the range to be summed.
Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers :)
I have a SUMIF formula, where I am trying to SUM all items that are starting with one of the following numbers:
4
5
6
7
So I wrote it down like this:
=SUMIFS('Data-NEW'!Q:Q;'Data-NEW'!S:S;"4*";'Data-NEW'!S:S;"5*";'Data-NEW'!S:S;"6*";'Data-NEW'!S:S;"7*")
However in some cases this formula does not work (strangely).
Is the syntax correct in this case?
P.S. Maybe it is evaluating this formula in a way, that a cell has to start with all of the mentioned above (not just like one of them?)
I believe the multiple if statements or conditions you are checking within the SUMIF function are treated as AND conditions as opposed to OR. In order for it to be treated as an OR you will need to do a SUMIF for you 4* check and add if to a sumif for you 5* check which you add to your next number and so on.
=SUMIF('Data-NEW'!S:S;"4*";'Data-NEW'!Q:Q)+SUMIF('Data-NEW'!S:S;"5*";'Data-NEW'!Q:Q)+SUMIF('Data-NEW'!S:S;"6*";'Data-NEW'!Q:Q)+SUMIF('Data-NEW'!S:S;"7*";'Data-NEW'!Q:Q)
SUMIFS uses AND, meaning you would need S to be 4* AND S to be 5*, which obviously isn't so. Instead use 4 SUMIFS.
I need to sum the values of several columns, if other cells in the same row match a predefined criteria. The working formula for only 3 columns is the following:
=SUM(SUMIFS(‘Sheet1'!W:W; ‘Sheet1'!$B:$B;"Sales";‘Sheet1'!$C:$C;">=4");SUMIFS(‘Sheet1'!X:X; ‘Sheet1'!$B:$B;"Sales";‘Sheet1'!$C:$C;">=4");SUMIFS(‘Sheet1'!Y:Y; ‘Sheet1'!$B:$B;"Sales";‘Sheet1'!$C:$C;">=4"))
I will need to use the formula for several cells (and sum more than 10 columns per time) and I will need to change the columns manually, so I need the same formula in the following way:
=SUMIFS(‘Sheet1'!W:Y; ‘Sheet1'!$B:$B;"Sales";‘Sheet1'!$C:$C;">=4")
,but currently this formula leads to a "#VALUE!" error. The reason for that is (I assume) the use of multiple columns "W:Y"
Can you suggest a workaround?
I would suggest to use SUMPRODUCT rather than SUMIFS. You can build something like that :
=SUMPRODUCT((B1:B1048575="Sales")*(C1:C1048575>=4)*(W1:Y1048575))
The downside of SUMPRODUCT is that you can't use a whole column (for example you cannot write SUMPRODUCT((B:B="Sales"...)), this would generate an error).
Hope this helps.
I suggest you add a column with the sum('sheet1'!W:Y) and then use sumifs on this columns. It is a two step way but it will give the result you expect
Here's what I have :)
=SUM(SUMIFS('WTD Raw'!R:R,'WTD Raw'!E:E,"Kindle-Customer Care",'WTD
Raw'!J:J,"Week27",'WTD Raw'!H:H,'PassRate | July'!G8) + SUMIFS('WTD
Raw'!R:R,'WTD
Raw'!E:E,"Kindle-Technical Support",'WTD Raw'!J:J,"Week27",'WTD
Raw'!H:H,'PassRate | July'!G8))
Instead of using ";" use the Mathematical Operators for it to work.
I would like to create a succinct Excel formula that SUMS a column based on a set of AND conditions, plus a set of OR conditions.
My Excel table contains the following data and I used defined names for the columns.
Quote_Value (Worksheet!$A:$A) holds an accounting value.
Days_To_Close (Worksheet!$B:$B) contains a formula that results in a number.
Salesman (Worksheet!$C:$C) contains text and is a name.
Quote_Month (Worksheet!$D:$D) contains a formula (=TEXT(Worksheet!$E:$E,"mmm-yy"))to convert a date/time number from another column into a text based month reference.
I want to SUM Quote_Value if Salesman equals JBloggs and Days_To_Close is equal to or less than 90 and Quote_Month is equal to one of the following (Oct-13, Nov-13, or Dec-13).
At the moment, I've got this to work but it includes a lot of repetition, which I don't think I need.
=SUM(SUMIFS(Quote_Value,Salesman,"=JBloggs",Days_To_Close,"<=90",Quote_Month,"=Oct-13")+SUMIFS(Quote_Value,Salesman,"=JBloggs",Days_To_Close,"<=90",Quote_Month,"=Nov-13")+SUMIFS(Quote_Value,Salesman,"=JBloggs",Days_To_Close,"<=90",Quote_Month,"=Dec-13"))
What I'd like to do is something more like the following but I can't work out the correct syntax:
=SUMIFS(Quote_Value,Salesman,"=JBloggs",Days_To_Close,"<=90",Quote_Month,OR(Quote_Month="Oct-13",Quote_Month="Nov-13",Quote_Month="Dec-13"))
That formula doesn't error, it just returns a 0 value. Yet if I manually examine the data, that's not correct. I even tried using TRIM(Quote_Month) to make sure that spaces hadn't crept into the data but the fact that my extended SUM formula works indicates that the data is OK and that it's a syntax issue. Can anybody steer me in the right direction?
You can use SUMIFS like this
=SUM(SUMIFS(Quote_Value,Salesman,"JBloggs",Days_To_Close,"<=90",Quote_Month,{"Oct-13","Nov-13","Dec-13"}))
The SUMIFS function will return an "array" of 3 values (one total each for "Oct-13", "Nov-13" and "Dec-13"), so you need SUM to sum that array and give you the final result.
Be careful with this syntax, you can only have at most two criteria within the formula with "OR" conditions...and if there are two then in one you must separate the criteria with commas, in the other with semi-colons.
If you need more you might use SUMPRODUCT with MATCH, e.g. in your case
=SUMPRODUCT(Quote_Value,(Salesman="JBloggs")*(Days_To_Close<=90)*ISNUMBER(MATCH(Quote_Month,{"Oct-13","Nov-13","Dec-13"},0)))
In that version you can add any number of "OR" criteria using ISNUMBER/MATCH
You can use DSUM, which will be more flexible. Like if you want to change the name of Salesman or the Quote Month, you need not change the formula, but only some criteria cells. Please see the link below for details...Even the criteria can be formula to copied from other sheets

You might consider referencing the actual date/time in the source column for Quote_Month, then you could transform your OR into a couple of ANDs, something like (assuing the date's in something I've chosen to call Quote_Date)
=SUMIFS(Quote_Value,"<=90",Quote_Date,">="&DATE(2013,11,1),Quote_Date,"<="&DATE(2013,12,31),Salesman,"=JBloggs",Days_To_Close)
(I moved the interesting conditions to the front).
This approach works here because that "OR" condition is actually specifying a date range - it might not work in other cases.
Quote_Month (Worksheet!$D:$D) contains a formula (=TEXT(Worksheet!$E:$E,"mmm-yy"))to convert a date/time number from another column into a text based month reference.
You can use OR by adding + in Sumproduct. See this
=SUMPRODUCT((Quote_Value)*(Salesman="JBloggs")*(Days_To_Close<=90)*((Quote_Month="Cond1")+(Quote_Month="Cond2")+(Quote_Month="Cond3")))

Speed
SUMPRODUCT is faster than SUM arrays, i.e. having {} arrays in the SUM function. SUMIFS is 30% faster than SUMPRODUCT.
{SUM(SUMIFS({}))} vs SUMPRODUCT(SUMIFS({})) both works fine, but SUMPRODUCT feels a bit easier to write without the CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER to create the {}.
Preference
I personally prefer writing SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(...)))) over SUMPRODUCT(SUMIFS({})) for multiple criteria.
However, if you have a drop-down menu where you want to select specific characteristics or all, SUMPRODUCT(SUMIFS()), is the only way to go. (as for selecting "all", the value should enter in "<>" + "Whatever word you want as long as it's not part of the specific characteristics".
In order to get the formula to work place the cursor inside the formula and press ctr+shift+enter and then it will work!
With the following, it is easy to link the Cell address...
=SUM(SUMIFS(FAGLL03!$I$4:$I$1048576,FAGLL03!$A$4:$A$1048576,">="&INDIRECT("A"&ROW()),FAGLL03!$A$4:$A$1048576,"<="&INDIRECT("B"&ROW()),FAGLL03!$Q$4:$Q$1048576,E$2))
Can use address / substitute / Column functions as required to use Cell addresses in full DYNAMIC.
Does anyone have any brilliant ideas to simplify this difficult formula? Don't panic when you see it, I will try to explain.
=IFERROR(INDEX(rangeOfDesiredValues,(1/SUMPRODUCT((rangeOfSerials=$D20)(rangeOfApps=cfgAppID)(rangeOfAccessIDs=cfgAccessID)*ROW(rangeOfDesiredValues))^-1)),"")
Currently I am using SUMPRODUCT to do the equivalent of a VLOOKUP with multiple columns as criteria. Usually that only works with number results, but since I need to find text, I'm using SUMPRODUCT in combination with ROW and INDEX.
Unfortunately when no cell is found, my SUMPRODUCT returns 0. This causes the formula to return the incorrect cell rather than blank. For this reason I am running the result through this calculation:
(1 / result)^-1
This way results of 0 become an error, and other results remain unchanged. I feed this into IFERROR, so that errors become blanks.
Does anyone know how to make this neater? I am not able to create new columns in any of my spreadsheets.
It's always best to avoid using multi-condition summing functions like SUMPRODUCT when you want to find a single value (it would obviously give you an incorrect result or error if there's more than one row which matches all three conditions, I assume you expect one match at most here?). ROW function can also be problematic if you insert any rows in the worksheet.....
There are several approaches that can work. For a single formula, using MATCH is the most common - MATCH will only give the correct position or an error so no problems with zero values. That would look like this:
=IFERROR(INDEX(rangeOfDesiredValues,MATCH(1,(rangeOfSerials=$D20)*(rangeOfApps=cfgAppID)*(rangeOfAccessIDs=cfgAccessID),0)),"")
That's an "array formula" that needs to be entered with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER......or you can make it into a regular formula with an extra INDEX function like this
=IFERROR(INDEX(rangeOfDesiredValues,MATCH(1,INDEX((rangeOfSerials=$D20)*(rangeOfApps=cfgAppID)*(rangeOfAccessIDs=cfgAccessID),0),0)),"")
A third alternative is to use LOOKUP which doesn't need "array entry"
=IFERROR(LOOKUP(2,1/(rangeOfSerials=$D20)/(rangeOfApps=cfgAppID)/(rangeOfAccessIDs=cfgAccessID),rangeOfDesiredValues),"")
That differs slightly from the previous versions in the case of multiple matches - it will give you the last match rather than the first in that scenario (but I assume you have only one match at most, as stated above).
Finally, if you don't mind using helper columns you could simplify the formulas considerably. Just use a "helper" column to concatenate the three criteria columns separated by dashes and then you can use a simple VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH, e.g.
=IFERROR(INDEX(rangeOfDesiredValues,MATCH($D20&"-"&cfgAppID&"-"&cfgAccessID,Helper_Column,0)),"")
