Total (Sum?) with VLOOKUP - excel

I have my clients on one sheet and their bought items.
On the sheet where I have my client names, I want to have their total.
My code will only "sum" the first cell it encounters that matches the vlookup, it will not add all the cells together matching the vlookup:
=SUM(VLOOKUP([#Customer],Details!B2:F10,5,FALSE))
What I'm trying to achieve is that I get a total of a Customers bought products.
My table looks like this:
Client|Product|Price
------|-------|-----
A |Salade |2
B |Koffee |3.5
A |Apple |0.5
What I want is that I can get sum of A (beeing 2.5), but now I only get the value "2".
I had no luck with SumIF.

=sumproduct((A2:A4="A")*(C2:C4))
That is the formula you basically want. you will need to replace the "A" with your cell reference that holds what you are looking for. Adjust the range of A2:A4 and C2:C4 to match your range. Ensure they are equal in length.
You can read more on SUMPRODUCT here and here
Based on your VLOOKUP formula I would guess your formula would look like:
=SUMPRODUCT((DETAILS!B2:B10=[#Customer])*(DETAILS!F2:F10))
Alternatively you could use the SUMIF formula:
=SUMIF(DETAILS!B2:B10,[#Customer],DETAILS!F2:F10)
SUMIF will check the b2:b10 range for cells matching #Customer's cell value. When a match is found, it will add the corresponding value in the F2:F10 range. Of the two methods it is the preferred method.
If you wind up needing multiple conditions, SUMPRODUCT can be adjusted or you can use SUMIFS.

use dynamic range in countif formula

I have this sheet with data:
the search range (row 3) is filled until column AM and the count range (row 4 and lower) is only filled until column R (more columns will be filled in time)
I need to have a formula to use in my count if formula to find the last filled column.
So in this case the the search range for the countif formula has to be:
=countif(C3:R3;C4:R4)
but when column S is filled, the formula should automatically use column S instead of R. etc.
the formula is used to calculate an average of the scores/percentage for a certain skill (e.g. optellen+aftrekken, tafels, tijd). So just counting the arguments in row 4 or lower is not enough. It also has to count how many times the given skill is found in the applying range (Column C to R, C to S etc).
I have a combinated formula to have the complete first parameter for the countif formula:
="'invoer optie2 (2)'!C$3:"&(ADRES(3;AANTALARG('invoer optie2 (2)'!4:4)+1;2;1))
(the formula is in dutch).
the result is this:
'invoer optie2 (2)'!C$3:R$3
This is the part I need for my countif formula. I keep struggling on how to use this in the countif formula so it uses it a the search range.
How can I convert this "string" to the range in the countif formula?
Do not use ADDRESS and INDIRECT as they are Volatile.
Instead use INDEX:
=COUNTIFS('invoer optie2 (2)'!C$3:INDEX('invoer optie2 (2)'!$3:$3,MATCH(1E+99,'invoer optie2 (2)'!4:4)),"WhatYouWant")

Return value in a specific column based on array formula result

I am using an array formula to find the largest value within a given month. Photo below ('Range of values') shows the values for each month, and I am selecting September as the criteria ("K5" in the formula below). Cell K5 will change based on the specific month I am looking for:
Formula:
{=MAX(IF(E8:P8=K5,E12:P21,""))}
Result:
63,490
Requirement:
I need to have a cell with the result, and a cell next to it with the corresponding 'Location', which in this case would be 6.
What would be the best formula to use in the case where you are not confined to a single column for the value lookup?
Typical Vlookup and Index/Match as I understand are limited as they require a single column to look up a value. The array is outside of that scope, but I feel I may be overthinking it, but I don't know.
if you have Excel 365 current channel you can use this formula to return both values:
=LET(data,A1:D5,
selectMonth,B7,
dataMonth,CHOOSECOLS(data,1,MATCH(selectMonth,CHOOSEROWS(data,1),0)),
TAKE(SORT(dataMonth,2,-1),2))
The basic idea is to first reduce the data range to the first column and the month that should be evaluated.
Then sort that "range" descending by the months values (= column 2 of new range) and take the first 2 rows (including header) - as this is the max value.

Countifs does not work when a range with multiple column is selected

I need a count if function that counts me the cells that meet a certain criteria. This should be done with countifs. The formula is the following:
=COUNTIFS(Orders!D:D;"*Ecolab*";Orders!B:B;">=01/01/2019";Orders!U:U;">=36";Orders!K:Q;">=1")This formula returns me an value type error.
This formula works well until I introduce the last condition orders!K:Q;">=1"
I would like a formula that counts if the word Ecolab is present in the cell; if the date is after or equal 01/01/2019; if the column U has more or equal than the number 36 and if there is at least a "1" in the cells in the row from column K to column Q. I could do this by easily replicating the countifs several times, (i.e =COUNTIFS(Orders!D:D;"*Ecolab*";Orders!B:B;">=01/01/2019";Orders!U:U;">=36";Orders!K:K;">=1")+COUNTIFS(Orders!D:D;"*Ecolab*";Orders!B:B;">=01/01/2019";Orders!U:U;">=36";Orders!L:L;">=1")+...........+COUNTIFS(Orders!D:D;"*Ecolab*";Orders!B:B;">=01/01/2019";Orders!U:U;">=36";Orders!Q:Q;">=1")
But I would rather not include such a long formula as it would create confusion for the ultimate user of the excel sheet
Per my comment above, you could use SUMPRODUCT (avoid using whole columns for that) or an array with OFFSET like this:
=SUM(COUNTIFS(Orders!D:D;"*Ecolab*";Orders!B:B;">=01/01/2019";Orders!U:U;">=36";OFFSET(Orders!J:J;0;{1;2;3;4;5;6;7});">=1"))
If the count for K:Q should be 1 when there may be more than one cell greater or equal to 1 in a single row then you need to apply OR criteria in a SUMPRODUCT.
SUMPRODUCT formulas should not use full column references; there is too much wasted calculation. The following is for rows 2:99; adjust for your own use.
=SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH("ecolab", Orders!D2:D99)),
--(Orders!B2:B99>=DATE(2019, 1, 1)),
--(Orders!U2:U99>=36),
SIGN((Orders!K2:K99>=1)+(Orders!L2:L99>=1)+(Orders!M2:M99>=1)+(Orders!N2:N99>=1)+(Orders!O2:O99>=1)+(Orders!P2:P99>=1)+(Orders!Q2:Q99>=1)))

IF Function/VLOOKUP Combo

So this seems like it should be pretty easy. I could just concatenate and make another column in the data to make a unique combo and get my answer. But that just seems so messy. So here I am reaching out to you fine folks to pick your brains.
I want to look up HQLine and Description in the MPCC tab to return the correct MPCC Code. I tried a couple IF statements with VLOOKUPS but couldn't get it right.
So I need to look up BK3 Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) Connector in the MPCC tab. So it needs to match BK3 and the Long description and then give me the correct code.
Here is the missing data file
Here is the MPCC export list that I want to search
Use SUMIFS.
SUMIFS will find the sum in a table of rows that meet certain criteria. If the MPCC is always a number, and the MQAb-LongDescription is always unique, SUMIFS will find the correct ID.
=SUMIFS(Sheet1!C$2:C$100,Sheet1!A$2:A$100,A2,Sheet1!B$2:B$100,B2)
where Sheet1!A$2:A$100 is the HQAb data, Sheet1!B$2:B$100 is the Long Description data, Sheet1!C$2:C$100 is the MPCC Number data, A2 is the HQLine, and B2 is the Description.
The formula would go in C1.
More information on VLookup with Multiple Criteria
You can use an Index/Match with multiple criteria.
I'm assuming that you will put this formula in "Sheet1", cell C2, and your lookup data is in a sheet called "Sheet2", columns A, B, C from row 2 to 30.
Put this in Sheet1, C2:
=INDEX(Sheet2!$C$2:$C$30,MATCH(A2&B2,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$30&Sheet2!$B$2:$B$30,0))
(Enter with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER) and drag down.)
Adjust the ranges as necessary.
lets assume your first Table is on sheet 1 in the range A1:C11 and the MPCC codes are located on Sheet 2 in the range A1:C32. Each table has a header row so your data really starts in row 2.
Similar to BruceWayne's answer of using an array formula, you can bring the array calculation inside of a formula and avoid the special array treatment. There are a few functions that can do this. I will demonstrate with the SUMPRODUCT function;
On Sheet 1, Cell C2, use the following formula:
=INDEX('Sheet 2'!$C$1:C$32,SUMPRODUCT((A2='Sheet 2'!$A$2:A$32)*(B2='Sheet 2'!$B$2:B$32)*row('Sheet 2'!$A$2:A$32))
Explanation:
When the value in A2 matches the value in the range in the second sheet it will be true and false when it does not. when True False get used in math operations they are treated at 1 and 0 respectively. Therefore the only result from your two search criteria will be the rows where A2 match is true and B2 match is true and this will have a value of 1. The 1 will then be multiplied by the row number. Since all other results will be 0 since your list is a unique combination, the sum part of sumproduct will sum up to the row number where your unique row is located. This in turn is used by the indext function to return the row to give your unique number.

Excel SUMIF function sums multiple and/or wrong column.

I'm having an issue getting accurate data from the SUMIF function. This appears to be caused by the SKU and Product name being identical however I don't understand why the selected range would be ignored.
SUMIF(G:K,A2,K:K) - Cell D2 is calling for the sum of K yet returning the sum result of K2:M2. All other results in D are correct.
SUMIF(G:K,A2,I:I) - If I change the formula in D to SUM I:I (text not a numeric field) the function returns the sum of K:K
Example file http://tempsend.com/013C2B6378
According to the documentation here the range to be summed starts at the top left of the sum range (K:K in your first example) but its size is given by the size of the criteria range (G:K in your example). So I think that's why you're getting extra columns summed in your result.
If you have multiple criteria involving different columns, you should be able to use SUMIFS.
So let's say your data sit in 8 rows (including the headings).
then you simply need to change your formula to say, look for B2 in column G OR in I, if true, then sum the values in K. Right?
put this formula in B2 and press ctrl+shift+enter to calculate the formula.
=SUM(IF(($G$2:$G$8=B2)+($I$2:$I$8=B2),1,0)*$K$2:$K$8)
then drag and fill down until the last cell.
obviously you need to adjust the ranges in the formula to adapt to your own data.
tell me if you get to the answer via this.
