Lookup multiple values in excel - excel

Is there a way for excel formulas to look up multiple values in an 2d matrix for excel? For example:
sum(vlookup({2015,2016},Matrix,{2,4,6},False)) = 3 + 4 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 2
2014 1 3 7 11 9 2
2015 3 6 4 12 5 8
2016 2 1 3 99 2 6
I don't necessarily have to use the function vlookup but I prefer not having to use the same function multiple times then summing them since the list {2015,2016} could be quite long.

Put your search criteria in one cell each:
Then use this formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($A$1:$A$3,J1))*ISNUMBER(SEARCH(COLUMN($B$1:$G$3),K1))*$B$1:$G$3)
If you want to hard code the numbers then you can do it this way:
=SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($A$1:$A$3,"2015,2016"))*ISNUMBER(SEARCH(COLUMN($B$1:$G$3),"2,4,6"))*$B$1:$G$3)

I like #ScottCraner's answer a lot, I just did it slightly differently, but using close-on the same tricks.
For me, I put the year values in as follows in column N:
N1 = 2015
N2 = 2016
And the columns I wanted to use for the look-up in column O:
O1 = 2
O2 = 4
O3 = 6
Then, I used the following (entered as an array formula - meaning you press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER after putting it in):
=SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1:A3,$N$1:$N$2,0))*ISNUMBER(MATCH(COLUMN(A1:G3)-COLUMN(A1)+1,$O$1:$O$3,0))*A1:G3)
Again, Scott's answer is perfectly right, I just added in a different way to get to the same result.
Hope it helps you or someone else facing the same kind of challenge.

In spreadsheet (Excel or Google Sheets), how to find the sum of multiple values with multiple rows of column headers criteria?

as in the above picture, I need to sum all the values within the table C8:V22 which match
the first three characters of column B(orange),
row 5 for the number(blue),
row 6 for the first character(green),
row 7 for the first three characters(yellow)
The desire result would be the sum of the number in red, which is 10001 + 10081 + 10161 + 10221 = 40464
I tried many different ways to write the formula, one of that is:
=INDEX($B$5:$V$22,
MATCH($D$26,LEFT($B$5:$B$90,3),0),
MATCH(($F$26=$5:$5) * ($G$26=LEFT($6:$6, 1)) * (H26=LEFT($7:$7,3)), 0))
and pressed Ctrl+Shift+Enter to make it as an array formula, but couldn't figure out where is the error.
Anyone could help on this? Thank you!
Edit: The following is a simplify table for easy reference:
1
2
3
a1
a2
b1
abc1
abdf2
abc2
111a
11
12
13
222a
14
15
16
111b
17
18
19
555a
20
21
22
333d
23
24
25
111a
26
27
28
in this case, the match values are 11 + 17 + 26 = 54
I also tried using combinations of functions such as SUMIFS, SUMPRODUCT, search, e.t.c. but still not able figure out the solution.
In your sheet:
=SUMPRODUCT((LEFT(B8:B22,3)=C26&"")*(C5:V5=E26)*(LEFT(C6:V6,1)=F26&"")*(LEFT(C7:V7,3)=G26&"")*C8:V22)
simply retrieve the sum using your parameters and converting in string to match exactly.
If you have Excel 365 you can use this formula:
=LET(data,C8:V22,
ruleColumnB,LEFT(B8:B22,LEN(D26))=TEXT(D26,"0"),
ruleRow5,C5:V5=F26,
ruleRow6, LEFT(C6:V6,1)=G26,
ruleRow7, LEFT(C7:V7,3) =H26,
SUMPRODUCT(data*ruleColumnB*ruleRow5*ruleRow6*ruleRow7)
)
)
Using LET makes the formula more readable - esp. if you name the rules according to your special context.
If you don't have Excel 365 you have to replace the single parameters within SUMPRODUCT with each range/formula

Excel formula to count how many times a part number is used in a top level assembly (no UNIQUE or FILTER)

I have a list of part numbers that are used in 4 different top level assemblies. The parts can be used in 1 to 4 of the top level assemblies. I'm trying to write a formula that will count how many unique top level assemblies a part number occurs in. I had previously written a formula that worked, but it uses UNIQUE and FILTER, and my coworkers don't have Excel 365, so those formulas aren't supported for them. I've been trying to come up with a workaround and would really appreciate any help :)
I have an example (I can't provide any real data) section of our spreadsheet and an image of the formula I had that was working

=SUM(--(LEN(UNIQUE(FILTER(A:A, C:C=C2, "")))>0))
Picture of the excel sheet
Picture of working formula
Use the following formula in row 2: =SUMPRODUCT(--(FREQUENCY(IF($B$2:$B$20=$B2,$A$2:$A$20),$A$2:$A$20)>0))
*I think it doesn't require ctrl+shift-enter in older Excel versions, since SUMPRODUCT is an array formula by default.
The formula checks the frequency of values in column A where column B matches the value in the current row. It returns the count per unique value meeting the condition. Wrapping it in -- & >0 returns 1 for each unique value. SUMPRODUCT sums them.
Edit:
I realized that the top level assembly values are actual text, not numeric values. In that case (since it's all numeric values stored as text) you can use this workaround:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(FREQUENCY(IF($B$2:$B$20=$B2,--($A$2:$A$20)),--($A$2:$A$20))>0))
It converts the text to numbers.
Sidenotes to this workaround:
If any value would contain a character other than numeric it will not get counted.
If you have both values like 02554 and 2554 they'll both get converted to 2554 and counted likewise.
Edit 2:
For text use the following:
=SUMPRODUCT(IF($B$2:$B$20=$B2, 1/(COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$20, $B2, $A$2:$A$20, $A$2:$A$20)), 0))

Excel using SUMIF to calculate totals of multiple columns

I'm trying to use Excle's SUMIF to calculate totals of Col1 to Col5 for dates that are similar.
My formula is as follows =SUMIF($A2:$A7,A10,$B2:$F7), but this only gives me the total of a single column.
How can I get the Totals of all the columns based on the date like I've shown in my results.
Date Col 1 Col 2 Col 3 Col 4 Col 5
1/5/2017 1 2 2
1/5/2017 5 3 1
1/5/2017 9 5 5
2/5/2017 10 5 3
2/5/2017 20 10 3
2/5/2017 6 8 1 5
Desired Results
1/5/2017 15 7 7 3 1
2/5/2017 30 11 11 11 8
use below formula in cell B11
=SUMIF($A$2:$A$7,$A11,B$2:B$7)
Per the example you provided, One solution is to use SUMPRODUCT
Multiplies corresponding components in the given arrays, and returns the sum of those products
Microsoft Docs give a thorough example, but per SO etiquette, here is an example in case of link-rot: [FYI, I used absolute reference for easier filling across, arbitrary how you get it done though]
Forumlas shown:
Formula is kind of hard to see without clicking on image:
=SUMPRODUCT(($B$3:$B$8=$B$11)*C3:C8)
This basically breaks down like this, it searches the B:B column for a match, and it will naturally return a true or false for the match, or 0/1 counterparts, and multiplys that by the number found in the column to the right (C3:C8), so it will either be 1 * # = # or 0 * # = 0

Average range between multiple unique number pairs in excel

Suppose I have the following data in exce l:
For each row, I want to know what the average range between each unique pair of variables is.
Is there a way to do this in one go, without having to manually calculate the range between every number pair?
Taking row one as an example, the unique pairs and their ranges are as follows:
8 - 5 = 3
8 - 6 = 2
6 - 5 = 1
The average range is (3 + 2 + 1)/3 = 2.
So, the output should be 2, but I want to know if there is a way to do this all in one formula
Paste the following array formula into cell D1 and drag down as far as necessary:
= SUM(ABS(A1:C1-TRANSPOSE(A1:C1)))/(COLUMNS(A1:C1)*(COLUMNS(A1:C1)-1))
(Obviously, you'll have to change the formula above to whatever your cell ranges are.)
Note this is an array formula, so you must press Ctrl+Shift+Enter on the keyboard when entering this formula rather than just Enter.
See below for a demonstration that this formula works.
As in the example in your question, the result for the first row is 2.
Second row:
10 - 1 = 9
3 - 1 = 2
10 - 3 = 7
(9+2+7)/3 = 18/3 = 6
Also note, this formula works for variable column ranges. (It doesn't just have to be 3 columns.) See below for an example with 4 columns. (The formula is in cell E1 and is evaluating over cell range A1:D1.)
8 - 2 = 6
13 - 2 = 11
11 - 2 = 9
13 - 8 = 5
11 - 8 = 3
13 - 11 = 2
(6+11+9+5+3+2)/6 = 36/6 = 6

Excel - Lookup value in multiple columns

I have a datasheet with multiple columns that I want to search through - ending up with returning the top row value(s) in the found column(s). How to do this?
My idea would be to combine index with match, but I am rather lost for specific ideas...
January February March April May June
1 2 3 4 5 6
7 8 9 10 11 12
2 7 1 8 4 5
9 10 11 12 6 3
E.g. Search for: ID 3 - should return: March, June

You need to add a VLOOKUP for each columns and after build the result
Following the Scheme:
A7 -> =IF(IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A$9;A1:A5;1;);"")="";"";A1) and autocomplete
D9 -> =SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(CONCATENATE(A7;",";B7;",";C7;",";D7;",";E7;",";F7);",,";",");",,";",");",,";",")
D10 -> =IF(RIGHT(D9;1)=",";LEFT(D9;LEN(D9)-1);D9)
Formula for D9 & D10 it's only to have a good display of the results.
UPDATE Version:
Considering you agree to have the Row 7 ... You can simplyfy using the Result formula:
=INDEX(List;SMALL(IF(List<>"";COLUMN(List)-MIN(COLUMN(List))+1);1))&IFERROR(", " & INDEX(List;SMALL(IF(List<>"";COLUMN(List)-MIN(COLUMN(List))+1);2));"")&IFERROR(", " & INDEX(List;SMALL(IF(List<>"";COLUMN(List)-MIN(COLUMN(List))+1);3));"")
List it's the name Range of Row 7. The formula shall be apply with Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
This formula collect the first 3 value.
If you want more, add for each nth value you have:
&IFERROR(", " & INDEX(List;SMALL(IF(List<>"";COLUMN(List)-MIN(COLUMN(List))+1);3));"")
changing the last numer (in this case 3) and putting 4, 5, 6 ...
Obviusly if the result can be a lot, have few sense... Consider to use VBA !
