I need help with creating sum formula on Excel sheet.
I need on excel show sum formula without specific rows. In these rows for example is word "W" or something other way. And I need show sum for example:
=SUM(A1:A5) ........ without if column E have = "W"
I tried checkbox solution, but I finding other better solution:
Please can you help me, how can I do it?
EDIT :
i also posting you my excel sheet what i tried from your solution, but not working:
example of excel sheet
You are looking for something like =SUMPRODUCT(--(NOT(E1:E5="W")),A1:A5). Sumproduct multiplies everything in one column with everything in another, and sums the results. -- converts a boolean statement into a 1 or a 0.
So, with this formula, you would be multiplying each item in column A with either a 1 or a 0. Obviously, things multiplied by zero do not have any effect on the final sum :)
You could use SUMIF formula to only sum column A if the column E has a value of W like below:
=SUMIF(E:E,"w",A:A)

I'm goofing a bit on the syntax here.
But in most basic terms, if sheet 'CT', column B has a corresponding lookup value in column B of sheet 'CT WKSHT' AND column K of 'CT WKSHT' is N/A (this cell is a formula that will not always have a value) then I want to populate a 1 else a 0.
The formula below is sort of conceptually what I'm trying to do, but I'm not doing this right clearly.
Please help if you can, as I get stuck when I think about getting vlookups to have additional conditions on them.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(CT!B4,'CT WKSHT'!B8:K8,10,FALSE),1,"")
Why are you even working with VLookup()? If I read your formula, it reads like:
Look for a value in column B and if you find it, return the value of column K.
If the lookup did not work, then show 1
If the lookup did work, then show and empty string
Why do you want to return value of column K if you overwrite it with an empty string anyway?
I would advise you the following formula:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(CT!B4,'CT WKSHT'!B8:K8,10,FALSE),1)
Is this better?
Also, you are looking for that value just on row 8, why not for the whole range:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(CT!B4,'CT WKSHT'!B:K,10,FALSE),1
This should do it. It combines a normal IF statement with ISERROR. ISERROR simply returns True or False depending on the result of the VLOOKUP.
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(DCTM!B4,'DCTM WKSHT'!B:K,10,FALSE)),1,0)
I have a table which I have copied from the internet and pasted in Excel. The data pasted is however not clean. I want to add the 1st, 4th, 7th, 10th... row from the column, while skipping 2,3,5,6,8,9...th row. And I'd like that solution to be in one cell, that is without adding a helper column.
Here is a snapshot of my demo table. Hope this gives you an idea of what I am trying achieve.
I've searched the internet found this question on SO. But I just can't modify the formula to get around my solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Seeing you have a header in your column.
Enter the following formula in your desired cell where you want the sum value
=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A13),(--(MOD(ROW(A2:A13),3)=2)))
Explanation:
MOD(ROW(A2:A13),3)=2 Checks for rows where row_number %% 3 = 2 and returns an array of boolean(TRUE or FALSE for each match)
Output : =SUMPRODUCT((A2:A13),(--({TRUE;FALSE;FALSE;TRUE;FALSE;FALSE;TRUE;FALSE;FALSE;TRUE;FALSE;FALSE})))
The double negative converts the boolean values to numeric 1(TRUE) or 0(FALSE).
Output: =SUMPRODUCT((A2:A13),({1;0;0;1;0;0;1;0;0;1;0;0}))
SUMPRODUCT multiplies the above array with the data array of A2:A16 and adds the product result.
How about using sumproduct? This function is greatly versatile and should do the trick. The idea is that the double negative sign casts the boolean to a one or zero so your false elements (aka any n where n%3 <> 1) get multiplied by zero so they are, in effect, excluded from your sum.
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(ROW(A1:A16), 3)=1), A1:A16)
Here's what I'm trying to do with no success.
I have 2 sheets in a workbook. Format and TC.
Format looks something like this:
And TC looks something like this
I want to add after the last column in Format another column where to add the values that are in the 10th column of the TC value. That if the 2nd columns in both are the same.
This is how I tried to do it and it seems it doesn't work and I really don't know why since I'm an absolute beginer with VLOOKUP.
=IF(VLOOKUP(B2;TC!B:B;TC!V:V;FALSE)= "Montaj (Montage)"; "here I want to select the time and I don't know how…"; "VALUE NOT FOUND")
To explain it better... if the value of one cell in column 2(B) in the Format sheet is found in TC sheet in column 2(or B) then if the value of the 4th column (V) is "Montaj (Montage)" I want to put the value in the 10th column (235 in the example).
Thanks a lot for your help!
FINAL UPDATE: Added explanation.
What you need is SUMIFS. I fixed this to match your comment below.
=SUMIFS(TC!Z:Z,TC!B:B,Format!B2,TC!J:J,"Montaj (Montage)")
This will look in the B column in the TC sheet and look for the value in B2 of the Format sheet. If it finds it, AND it finds "Montaj (Montage)" in the same row in the J column, then it will return(sum if there are more than one match) value in the SAME ROW in the J column.
SUMIF is really convenient for summing conditions like this. If you only have 1 condition, you can use SUMIF. VLookup is similar, but it just returns a single value, it doesn't do anything with it.
Here is some helpful info on how SUMIFS works: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/sumifs-function-HA010047504.aspx
I have two columns of numbers. Both are 1 to 5. I want to count all the cells where the left column value equals the right column value AND the left column value equals a certain value.
I tried this:
=SUM(IF(W2:W13=X2:X13 AND W2:W13=4,1,0))
I've tried pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter and it adds {} around the formula but that didn't help either.
I think it's the W2:W13 = 4 part that doesn't work
=COUNTIFS(W2:W13,"=4", X2:X13, "=4")
You can use the sumif() function:
SumIf( range, criteria, sum_range )
it will apply the criteria for each row in the range.
Edit: to count the matches, you can use sum_range = 1 or use the Countif() function suggested by Ben in his answer
Have you considered a third column (C) with the formula IF(A1=B1,1,0) and then summing that third column?
I'm not much of an Excel Expert, but didn't they craeted the COUNTIF(range, criteria) function for this?
Add a third column eg Z2:Z13 with this formula: IF(AND(W2=X2; W2=4); 1; 0)
Then sum that one.
I don't have Excel 2007. So here's how you can do it in Excel 2003:
=COUNT(IF((W2:W14=4)*(X2:X14=4),Y2:Y14))
Since you are looking for a specific value and the column next to it to be the same value, you can just compare both columns to the same value.
The trick to get this to work is after entering the formula you need to hit F2 to go into edit mode and then hit CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER which makes this formula an array formula. This will put {} around the entire formula. Without making this an array formula this formula won't work.
I found this information in the Excel help document titled Count how often a value occurs
I'm relatively new to excel programming. I'm working on making a spread sheet that shows exponential decay. I have one column (A1:A1000) of 1000 random numbers between 1 & 10 using the TRUNC(RAND()*10,0) in each cell. The next Column (B1:B1000) has a logic mask =IF(A1=0,1,0) , where if the value in the A cell is 0, then the B cell shows a 1. Next, to find the number of 0's in the A column, I have the next column taking the sum of B1:B1000, which returns the number of 0's that showed up in the first column. I'm sure there's an easier way to do that, but this seems to work fine.
Here's my problem, hopefully it's clear what I'm asking:
Next, I want to take the sum of the logic column (B) from B1:B(1000- the value of the sum from (B1:1000)) in the cell below the cell that calculates sum(B1:B1000). Is there a way to to algebra in a cell formula to reference a cell? More simply, if I want to refer to A3, for example, is there a way to input something like A(2+1) to get A3? Does this make sense?
You can very easily do, in VBA:
ActiveCell.Formula = "=A" & (2+1) & "+15"
In Excel:
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(2+1, COLUMN(A1)))+15
This will set the formula to "=A3+15". Generally, this is best done with variables, so remember to do that.
In Excel, and as pointed out by Eric, you can write the referance to the cells just like normal strings thanks to INDIRECT() function.
Just make sure that the string passed to INDIRECT() is a valid cell reference.
For example :
=SUM(INDIRECT("B" & 2+7*(H2-1)):INDIRECT("B"&(2+7*H2)-1))
Here, I sum 7 lines for each week (H2). It gives the sum of B2:B8, B9:B15, B16:B22, etc.
Hope my example will help you figure out how to use it in real situation.
