Further to my previous question, Im trying to get cell E20 (Total) to work similarly - sum all cells preceeding until the the formula itself (E20), again to avoid any cells being excluded as rows are added. So far i have:
=SUM(INDEX(E:E,ROW()+1):INDEX($E:$E,ROW() + IFERROR(MATCH(“TOTAL",INDEX(D:D,ROW()+1):$D1004001,0)-1,MATCH(“TOTAL”,INDEX(D:D,ROW()+1):$D1004001,0)-1)))
So far I am simply returning an error message.
I am trying to sum everything in column E until it reaches one cell above the word Total in column D, to avoid a circular reference. Any thoughts?

No volatile or array formulas needed:
In E2:
=IF(F2="",SUM(INDEX(F:F,ROW()+1):INDEX(F:F,MATCH(1E+99,F:F)))-SUM(INDEX(E:E,ROW()+1):INDEX(E:E,MATCH(1E+99,F:F))),"")
And copy down the Column. Then a simple sum formula at the bottom
E2:
=AGGREGATE(9,6,(OFFSET(F3,0,0,
AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW(F3:F999)/ISBLANK(F3:F999),1)-ROW(F3))))
Copy/Paste into E8 and E14. The formula for the Total is pretty simple:
E20:
=SUM(E$2:E19)
After entered as indicated, these formulas will auto-adjust when you insert or delete rows in between, because they use relative references.
There's probably better ways, but this will work. I In cell E2, =SUMIF(F1:F7,"<>""""",F1:F7) and similarly in cell E8, etc. The range intentionally includes blank lines above and below each block of data, to ensure that Excel will adjust for any lines that you insert or delete.
For E20 you can just use the same format, =SUMIF(E1:E19,"<>""""",E1:E19)

From my research, when a bunch of cells are merged, you can only reference the first row and first column of the merged cells. EG. if A1:A3 are merged, then I can only access the data using A1 only, and A2 and A3 returns 0.
Now let's say I have a column B that has a formula that calculates based on values in column A. If I drag this formula down, then B2 and B3 will end up using value of 0, when they should be using value in A1.
Effectively, what i want to do is "if the cell in column A (of this row) is blank, then use the last non-blank value going upwards".
I know this will need to combine a couple of formulas, but I can't figure out how to create this. For a start, I can use the Offset function to "go up", but the difficult part here is how to find the previous non-blank cell?
I also tried combing OFFSET with COUNTA (see https://www.exceltip.com/other-qa-formulas/get-the-value-of-the-last-non-blank-cell-in-a-column-in-microsoft-excel.html), but this doesn't work if this occurs multiple times.
Easiest way is to use a helper column:
In B2 write
=IF(NOT(ISBLANK(A2)),0,B1+1)
and in C2 write
=OFFSET(A2,-B2,0)
Edit: actually... the solution without helper column is even easier! Write in B2:
=IF(ISBLANK(A2),B1,A2)
To avoid the helper column, you can use the INDEX + AGGREGATE functions:
=INDEX($A$1:A1,AGGREGATE(14,6,($A$1:A1<>"")*ROW($A$1:A1),1))
I'm trying to create a formula in column K which sums all cells that apply , in column J, only when the following conditions are true:
dates are the same in column A
AND client name is the same in column B
For example, in cell K2, I want the sum of J2+J3+J4 because A2=A3=A4 and B2=B3=B4.
K5=J5 only, because there are no other dates with the same client name.
K6=J6+J7 because A6=A7 and B6=B7.
What kind of formula would I use for this? I can't figure out how to do it with a SUMIFS.
I would try using a pivot table with:
The names as row values
The dates as the column values
And funds received using SUM in the values column
Edit
Based on #pnuts comments here is how to get the values in column K. Put this in K2 and drag down.
=IF(OR(COUNTIFS($B$1:B3, B3) = 1, B3 = ""), SUMIFS($J$2:J2, $A$2:A2, A2, $B$2:B2, B2), "")
This formula will give blank values until the formula finds a new client on a new date. However, I still think using pivot table is a better solution.
However, I still find the pivot table
In cell K2 put following formula:
=IF(COUNTIFS($A$2:A2,A2,$B$2:B2,B2)=1,SUMIFS($J$2:$J$10,$A$2:$A$10,A2,$B$2:$B$10,B2),"")
Adjust row 10 value. It will be last row of your actual data.
Copy down as much you need.
EDIT
Uploaded file shows the cause behind formula not working correctly for you. It turned out to be whitespace characters in column B (names) data e.g.
Cell B3: "Moe John" has a trailing space.
Cell B10: Same case with "Doe Jane"
If you want to use above posted formula then all names shall be corrected. Or alternatively to deal with spaces you can adopt below approach.
=IF(COUNTIFS($A$2:A2,A2,$B$2:B2,"*"&TRIM(B2)&"*")=1,SUMIFS($J$2:$J$28,$A$2:$A$28,A2,$B$2:$B$28,B2),"")
Notice the change in COUNTIFS formula where B2 is now replaced with "*"&TRIM(B2)&"*".
Even such formula will take a beating if you have uneven whitespace characters in between your data. I'd suggest normalizing it as much as possible.
I am trying to display the total sum of all the numbers for a particular column. I want the sum to be displayed above the column as follows:
21 30
A B
6 5
6 10
6 10
3 5
I know I can sum the values and display it at the bottom of the column using =SUM(A3:INDIRECT("D"&ROW()-2)), however I am not getting a way to display it at the top of the column.
Please guide.
Based on the comments and the previous answers I suggest following formula, entered in cell A1:
=SUM(OFFSET(A$2,0,0,ROWS(b:b)-1))
You can then copy/paste to the right till second last column.
You could also modify your formula in A1 like this to achieve the same:
=SUM(INDIRECT("A2:A"&ROWS(A:A)-2))
But then you cannot copy/paste to the right...
A more general approach with your idea would be:
=SUM(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW()+1,COLUMN())&":"&ADDRESS(ROWS(A:A),COLUMN())))
You can then copy/paste to the right till last column.
Some explanations:
Both formula sums up every value in the range from A2 till the bottom of column A (i.e. for Excel 2010 this would be A2:A1048576)
It doesn't matter if there are blanks or cells without value; the formula sums up only the numbers
I put A$2 and B:B in the OFFSET formula to avoid circular references, since I'm writing in cell A1 and I cannot write A$1 nor A:A
With the INDIRECT formula you don't have to worry about circular references
Further commenting (sorry, I don't have the credits to comment at the right place under the question):
Phylogenesis formula =SUM(A3:A65535) could also do the work, isn't it?
Didn't understand your question at first, because you talk of "sum of all the numbers for a particular row" but then you sum columns, isn't it?
When I'm doing something like this, I prefer to not include any empty cells beneath the range I'm summing, because I've had errors in the past as the result of including them (usually because there's a cell way down in the column somewhere that I'm not expecting to have a value). I'm assuming that A & B are your column headers. Assuming that, here is how I would do it. This is your formula for cell A1:
=SUM(OFFSET(A$1,2,0,COUNTA(A$3:A$65535)))
Explanation
I'm updating this with a brief explanation, per the OP's request.
According to ExcelFunctions.net:
The Excel Offset function returns range of cells that is a specified number of rows and columns from an initial supplied range.
The function reference for OFFSET is:
=OFFSET(reference, rows, cols, [height], [width])
What this formula does is create a dynamic range based on the number of cells in the selection, relative to cell A$1. This is an offset of two rows and no columns, which starts the range at A$3. The height of the range is the total number of filled cells in the range A$3:A$65535. The assumption here is that there are no blank cells in the range, which there were not in the sample data.
I have the following formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(--((('Sheet1'!$L$2:$L$100000<=X8)*'Sheet1'!$L$2:$L$100000)>=W8))
Column L is an output of dates. X8 and W8 are dates that collectively form a range.
This formula works great if all dates are returned or if there are some blank cells in column L. But if instead any cell in column L has code that returns #VALUE!, then the formula breaks down.
So basically, I need to modify this formula to accommodate for the fact that some cells in column L return #VALUE!. Is there a way to overlook such cells so that the formula only handles cells that have returned actual dates?
As I follow up from comments, this formula works:
=COUNTIFS('Sheet1'!$L$2:$L$100000,"<="&X8,'Sheet1'!$L$2:$L$100000,">="&W8)
I have 2 sheets in my spreadsheet. Sheet2 pulls information from Sheet1. In sheet2, there are 2 columns. Column A has company names. Column B has a formula which searches for the company name of that row within sheet1, and sums the values from that row in sheet1.
I have been able to achieve this with the following formula.
=SUMPRODUCT((Sheet1!B:B=A1)*(Sheet1!F:F))
This works fine, however I have to manually type "A1" into the formula. For the other rows, I would have to write B1, C1, D1 etc.
I have searched for how to reference the cell to the left, and I found this formula...
=OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(), COLUMN())), 0, -1)
This seems to work as a standalone formula in a cell, but I cannot figure out how to incorporate this into the SUMPRODUCT formula. Anything I try gives errors. I need something like this.
=SUMPRODUCT((Sheet1!B:B=(=OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(), COLUMN())), 0, -1)))*(Sheet1!F:F))
As per pnuts' suggestion to make it an answer:
The answer is just to drag the formula around. Just make sure to fix (either use F4 or add dollar signs) your range if it is not an entire column or an entire row
