Finding the first specific value above a certain cell - excel

I'm looking for a way to find the first specific value above a certain cell.
Using the example below, in the result column every time I hit a A in COL2, I need to substract the value in COL1 to the first A value above.
The trouble seems finding a way to keep the range dynamic...
I thought of =IF(B5="A";A5-INDIRECT("A"&MATCH("A";B:B;0));"")
But of course that only works for the first one as Match will always pick up the first one.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Example :
COL1 COL2 Result
1 A
2 0
3 0
4 A 4 - 1 = 3
5 0
6 A 6 - 4 = 2
7 0
8 0
9 0
10 A 10 - 6 = 4

Try this:
=IF(AND(ROW(B2)<>2,B2="A"),A2-INDEX($A$1:$A1,AGGREGATE(14,6,ROW($1:1)/($B$1:$B1="A"),1)),"")
The AGGREGATE() Function was introduced in 2010.

In D2 enter =IF(B2="A",A2-INDIRECT("A"&MATCH("A"&(E2-1),F:F,0)),"")
In E2 enter =IF(B2="a",COUNTIFS($B$2:B2,"a"),"")
In F2 enter =B2&E2
Copy formulas from D, E and F down all your rows
Column D is the result you're looking for

Sum values of one column depending on the ID of another

I have a table with many values as such (this is an oversimplified example):
IDx
Namex
Pricex
1
a
5
2
b
2
1
a2
5
3
c
3
2
b2
9
and another table with only the ID, in which I'd like to add a column that shows the addition of all the values that match that ID, in this example:
IDy
Totaly
1
10
2
11
3
3
I'm guessing this is a combination of vlookup with sum or sumif, I've tried so far:
=SUM(VLOOKUP(IDy1,$IDx$1:$IDx$5,$Pricex$1:$Pricex$5),// don't know how to proceed here
Try this:
B5:B9 = IDx
B16,D5 = Price
=SUMIF(B$5:B$9,B16,D$5:D$9)

how to reference a specific cell in a formula if other cells match a specific value

Thanks so much for looking at my question! I am trying to create a formula that subtracts a specific value from another formula. However, that specific value may change.
Example:
A B C D
1 1 100 =(2000 - ( if A = 1, i want to subtract the C value where B =1))
1 2 250
1 3 310
1 4 .
2 1
2 2 =((2000 - ( if A = 2, i want to subtract the C value where B =1))
2 3
2 4
3 1
3 2
3 3
3 4
(A,B,C,D are the columns)
Hopefully this makes sense! I am trying to subtract the C value that goes along with the B1 value for each different A.
I was thinking an index match of some sort but wasnt exactly sure how to do that when the A's change. Thanks so much in advance for help!
INDIRECT or INDEX functions can help you. See this answer.
Would something like a nested if function work for you here? For example:
=IF(A2=1,IF(B2=1,2000-C2,"Enter calculation if B2<>1"),"Enter calculation if A2"<>1)
If this works, then you can simply copy/paste the function down the rows in column D.

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 ifs with or in excel

So, I have this problem, I would like to find the average of a column by using the OR function to check criteria from adjusted columns, I tried putting OR into AverageIf function, fail, also tried the "Average(IF(OR(" again not the correct return. Thought it is a simple thing could be done easily but don't know why it doesn't work. So my table is something like this:
ID: Rate Check 1 Check 2 Check 3
1 5 1 1 1
2 3 1 1
3 2 1
4 4
5 5 1 1
6 3
7 4 1
I would like to find the average of the rate column by checking if there are any value in either Check 1; Check 2 or Check 3 columns, so in the above case i will get the average of all but row with the id 4 and 6. Is this possible without using a helper column?
You can use SUMPRODUCT()
=SUMPRODUCT(((C2:C8<>"")+(D2:D8<>"")+(E2:E8<>"")>0)*(B2:B8<>"")*B2:B8)/SUMPRODUCT(--((C2:C8<>"")+(D2:D8<>"")+(E2:E8<>"")>0)*(B2:B8<>""))
If your first ID starts in A2, use this formula (edited to handle empty values in the "Rate" column):
=AVERAGE(IF(MMULT(LEN(C2:E8)*LEN(B2:B8),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&COLUMNS($C$1:$E$1)))),B2:B8))

excel formula depending on dynamic values in different columns

I am trying to create an excel formula using SUM and SUMIF but cannot find how to.
I have a first column(A) which is the total time of a piece of work and then for each row the time spent in that task during each day(columns B, C, ...).
For each day(columns B, C, ...), the formula would return the sum of only those values in column A that(for that specific column), relate to task that have been completed that day: the sum of all cells within a row is equals or more than the time the task was allocated.
Example for one 12-hours task:
A B C D E
12 4 6 2 0
Using the formula:
A B C D E
12 4 6 2 0
0 0 0 12 0
where 12 is displayed in column D because 4 + 6 + 2 = 12(Column A)
Second example(3 tasks):
A B C D E
10 9 0 1 0
21 8 8 5 0
5 0 0 3 2
Using the formula:
A B C D E
10 9 0 1 0
21 8 8 5 0
5 0 0 3 2
0 0 0 31 5
Where:
31(Day D) = 10(Task 1 is finished that day) + 21(Task 2 is finished that day too)
5(Day E) = Task 3 is finished that day
Tried this formula (for Day B):
SUMIF(B1:B3,">=A1:A3",A1:A3)
(Sum those values in column A if the cells in that row p to column B(in this case just B) are >= than those iterated).
Then for column C, it would be,
SUMIF(C1:C3 + B1:B3,">=A1:A3",A1:A3)
The above examples did not work(first returns zero, second is an invalid formula),
Any ideas?
Thank you.
Formula below given by user ServerS works fine:
Col B:
=IF(SUM(B2)=A2,A2,0)+IF(SUM(B3)=A3,A3,0)+IF(SUM(B4)=A4,A4,0)+IF(SUM(B5)=A5,A5,0)
Col C:
=IF(SUM(B2:C2)=A2,A2,0)+IF(SUM(B3:C3)=A3,A3,0)+IF(SUM(B4:C4)=A4,A4,0)+IF(SUM(B5:C5)=A5,A5,0)
Col D
=IF(SUM(B2:D2)=A2,A2,0)+IF(SUM(B3:D3)=A3,A3,0)+IF(SUM(B4:D4)=A4,A4,0)+IF(SUM(B5:D5)=A5,A5,0)
However there are two inconvenients:
if new rows are added it needs to be adapted and include another IF(). Would be better to have a generic SUM if IF's
Trying to propagate the formula to adjacent cells is not possible as it would change part of the formula like "=A2,A2,0" to "=A3,A3,0" which needs to keep the same.
Any other ideas that improve this, if possible, are appreciated.
You can avoid using IF with a sumproduct. This method allows use to insert any row you want. Make sure range are correct (eg A2:A5 with 5 the last row used). I would go for this :
in column B :
=SOMMEPROD(($A$2:$A$5)*($A$2:$A$5=(B2:B5)))
in column C :
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$5)*($A$2:$A$5=(B2:B5+C2:C5)))-B6
in column D
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$5)*($A$2:$A$5=(B2:B5+C2:C5+D2:D5)))-C6-B6
in column E
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$5)*($A$2:$A$5=(B2:B5+C2:C5+D2:D5+E2:E5)))-D6-C6-B6
