I have a excel formual. =IF(SUMIFS(G:G,D:D,D2)>0,"YES","NO")
I searched on net but found any suitable answer to understand this.

I did not find any help from the above link. Could any one please help what this formula actully mean?
You first need to understand how the SUMIFS(G:G,D:D,D2) works. It returns the sum of rows within G:G where the corresponding D:D is equal to D2, as explained by the Microsoft link you have already. E.g.
| D G
--+-----------
1 | H1 H2
2 | A 1
3 | B 2
4 | C 3
5 | D 4
6 | A 5
7 | B 6
8 | C 7
9 | D 8
Here, D2 is A. SUMIFS(G:G,D:D,D2) will return the sum of values from G where the ones in D are equal to A, which is 1 + 5 = 6
So, if this sum is above 0 in
=IF(SUMIFS(G:G,D:D,D2)>0,"YES","NO")
Then, put YES, otherwise NO.
The SUMIFS function takes at least three arguments:
the range to be summed
the range to be tested
the condition that the second range is tested for (e.g. ">0")
In your example this function is evaluated; if the result is greater than zero, the outermost IF returns the string "YES", otherwise it returns "NO".
In other words - your expressions tells us whether (the sum of all elements in the first range for which the second range meets the condition in the third range), is greater than zero or not.

e.g. I have a list of race results:
A B C D E F...
NAME P. RACE1 RACE2 RACE
abc =? 1 3 3
bcd 3 2 4
cde 4 4 2
def 2 1 1
and another sheet with points for each result:
A B
PLACE POINT
1 10
2 5
3 2
4 1
Is it possible to get the total points in sheet1 column B based on the race results in column C-E..?
Is it a connection from VLOOKUP and SUM?
Yes, that's possible. You can use a SUMPRODUCT formula for that. You may use this one in column B:
=SUMPRODUCT((C2:E2=$A$13:$A$16)*$B$13:$B$16)
Your result will look like this:
This is an array function. The term C2:E2=$A$13:$A$16 will check for race 1 to 3 if it was 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th place. This will result in an "imaginary" array of TRUE and FALSE. For name "abc", it will look like that.
Those results are then multiplied with the points from B13:B16 and the sum is formed.
In Excel O365, one could use:
Formula in B2:
=SUM(VLOOKUP(C2:E2,H$2:I$5,2))
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.
I currently have two columns that look like this:
value | condition
50 | Y
60 | N
30 | Y
10 | Y
I cant seem to make use of IF function to get a sum of all the rows. Basically the aim here is to only sum the values if condition is Y and display the total in a cell. And if condition column is N, it will see value as 0. I want to be able to do this without the need of creating an additional column even though I understand this is easily done with a brand new column.
as Nick mentioned, you can use Sumif:
A | B
1 value | condition
2 50 | Y
3 60 | N
4 30 | Y
5 10 | Y
sumif structure:
=sumif(Range, Criteria, Sum_Range)
sumif for table above:
=sumif(B2:B5,"Y",A2:A5)
Excel formulas are not case-sensitive and there is no difference between A1:A5 and A2:A5 because the table titles are not important but start row and end row is important in both Range and Sum_Range.
I see the following formula in a Excel spread sheet and can not understand... Can anyone explain what the test condition "N5=N4:N741" mean?
=MIN(IF(N5=N4:N741,K4:K741))
I made some experiments and still cannot get a clue...
I'm assuming this is an array formula.
What this does is takes the minimum of the range K4:K741 where the value in N4:N741 equals the value in N5.
Let's look at a smaller example. K4:N9 is shown below.
K L M N
----------
4 | 4 2
5 | 8 7
6 | 3 4
7 | 2 1
8 | 7 9
9 | 1 7
The expression N5=N4:N9 is true in row 5 and row 9 since both of those match N5 (value = 7), giving the array {False,True,False,False,False,True} Thus IF(N5=N4:N9,K4:K9) will return {False,8,False,False,False,1} since the True values are replaced by the corresponding row in column K. The MIN() function will then ignore the False parts and return the minimum of the corresponding values in column K (the value 1 since 1 < 8).
I believe it returns an array of true and false values. I also believe the true shows up for the 3 because it is the third item in the array. but that is a guess on my part.
{false, false, true, false,false}
If you change your 5 in E1 to a 1, it will return a true.

I am trying to set up a smart conditional summing within Excel. But the range of functions available doesn't appear to provide what I am looking for.
I have two columns of numbers. In A, I have what we'll call indentation levels. In B, I have values.
For any particular row that has child indentations, I want to use a formula in B that will calculate the sum of values in B from the next row down to the next instance of that row's A value if the corresponding value in A is the minumum it has been so far.
e.g.
row | A | B | calc'd
--------------------
1 | 0 | 9 | y
2 | 2 | 2 |
3 | 1 | 7 | y
4 | 2 | 3 |
5 | 2 | 4 |
6 | 0 | 5 | y
7 | 1 | 5 |
So, for row 1, the sum range will be rows 2 through 5. This part, I can do with an OFFSET MATCH.
The SUMIF should include row 2, as A2 is the minimum value in A2:A2.
Likewise, it should include row 3, as A3 is the minimum value in A2:A3.
But it should not include rows 4 or 5 in the sum, because their A-column values are not the minimum "so far". (These values have already been "summed up" into row 3.)
How do I create a ranged sumif with this "minimum-so-far" condition?
I found a solution to this. Not quite as clean as I wanted, but it does the trick:
Add a helper value to column C, which is the "parent row" is will sum into.
For example, C5 {=MAX(ROW($9:5)*(A$1:A4<A5))} (note: array function).
Making the final equation for B1 =SUMIF(C2:Cn,"="&ROW(),B2:Bn) (where n is the upper limit of the working range).
As written here, inserting lines messes things up, but it can all be expanded with OFFSETs for row insertability.
