I am having trouble working out an error I am having with the formula below, I am a bit of a novice and its been more trial and error than anything so far but, I was hoping someone with a far greater knowledge could point out where I am going wrong.
The formula works fine without the indirect element I.e.
=SUMPRODUCT((PARROT!$o$12:$o$250<>"COMPLETE")*(PARROT!$n$12:$n$250<TODAY()))
but I want to replace the sheet name with an INDIRECT address as the name of the sheet could change
so the formula I came up with is but, it has an error:
=SUMPRODUCT(INDIRECT("'"&$A3&"'!$o$12:$o$250"),"<>"&"Complete")*(INDIRECT("'"&$A3&"'!$N$12:$N$250")<TODAY())
Help would be very much appreciated.
From your formula it seems you are just counting rows where O12:O250 is not equal Complete and N12:N250 is earlier than today. So, you can use COUNTIFS() formula with INDIRECT() easily. Try below.
=COUNTIFS(INDIRECT($A$3&"!$O$12:$O$250"),"<>Complete",INDIRECT($A$3&"!$N$12:$N$250"),"<"&TODAY())
If you need to sum values from a column then SUMIFS() will be your friend.
I am trying to use a variable range based on a pre-defined criteria. In my case I would like to find the range of the “AUD” cells in the table. I managed to get the beginning of the range thanks to:
=ADDRESS(1;MATCH("AUD";1:1;0))
And then I found the end of the range using a slightly modified above formula:
=ADDRESS(1;(MATCH("AUD";1:1;0)+(COUNTIF(1:1;"AUD"))-1))
Then I simply combined the results with the following formula:
=(B4&":"&C4)
And the achieved result was:
$B$1:$D$1
However, I am having difficulties implementing this result inside formulas in which range must be defined, which brings me to my following questions:
Is such kind of implementation possible in EXCEL, I suspect that the result is considered as a simple text and not actually a cell reference? Is there a way I can change that?
One step further, if we trim (for example from $B$1 to just $B) can we still make the formula working?
Due to the fact that to save space I will probably write all the above formulas inside one formula and I expect this formula to become huge, would it be possible to create a VBA public function which can store the range in a variable and then just refer this variable to the formula - for example, SUMIF("=audRefCell()";"AUD";2:2).
I would like to thank you in advance for the help!
I'm trying to do the following.
Take a value in a defined cell
Look up that value on another sheet called 'Updates'.
Look across the row for the last non-empty cell
Look up from there and return the header.
I know that if there was a defined range, the following formula works great for the last two steps.
=LOOKUP(2,1/(Updates!B3:E3<>0),Updates!B2:E2)
However I tried to make it more flexible with INDIRECT and came up with the abomination of a formula which I intended to just copy down.
=LOOKUP(2,1/INDIRECT("Updates!B"&B5+2&":S"&B5+2<>0),Updates!$B$2:$S$2)
However this just returns a #REF error. Is this type of thing not possible or is there a simpler way to go about it?
Thanks
I think you're not closing the INDIRECT statement before making the <>0 test - so move that bracket to the left and it should work; ie
= LOOKUP(2,1/INDIRECT("Updates!B"&B5+2&":S"&B5+2) <>0, Updates!$B$2:$S$2)
I'm pretty new with excel, but I have created a formula to calculate something from data I get from a sensor.
=100*((SUMPRODUCT(C16:C98,A16:A98)-SUMPRODUCT(C16:C98,A15:A97)+SUMPRODUCT(C15:C97,A16:A98)-SUMPRODUCT(C15:C97,A15:A97))/53.2)/((SUM(A16:A98)-SUM(A15:A97)))
as you can see it's quite long, and the values differ from time to time (sometimes it starts on c16 sometimes on c35,...)
I've tried adding an indirect link in the formula as the following:
original: SUMPRODUCT(C16:C98,A16:A98)
added indirect link: (SUMPRODUCT(INDIRECT(M25&":"&M26&","&M27&":"&M28)))
but this gives me a #REF! error.
Does anyone have an idea? Cheers.
B.
Edit: the M25 - M28 are the cells where I'll be putting my starting and ending cell number in. so in this case it would be "C16" in M25, "C98" in M26, "A16" in M27, "A98" in M28
You need to use INDIRECT for each array, try this:
=SUMPRODUCT(INDIRECT(M25&":"&M26),INDIRECT(M27&":"&M28))
Ok. So i'm looking to nest IF in my SUMIFS formulas. The only problem i'm having is when one of my referenced cells show FALSE, the formula no longer works. How do i get the formula to completely remove that Criteria from the SUMIFS formula and still work?
Codes i've used.
=SUMIFS(R:R,IF(BE4=TRUE,I:I),IF(BE4=TRUE,BD4),J:J,BD5)
=IF(BE4=TRUE,SUMIFS(R:R,I:I,BD4),0)+IF(BE5=TRUE,SUMIFS(R:R,J:J,BD5),0)
I've even tried breaking the SUMIFS formula into multiple cells, and using IF and INDIRECT to create a working code. Just keeps popping up with #REF error.
Here's that code
=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(BK1,IF(BE2=TRUE,BK2,""),IF(BE3=TRUE,BK3,""),IF(BE4=TRUE,BK4,""),IF(BE5=TRUE,BK5,""),BK6))
Here's the code that didn't work before the IF.
=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(BK1,BK2,BK3,BK4,BK5,BK6))
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Try this formula:
=SUMIFS(BK1:BK6,BK1:BK6,">=0")
Please try this formula,
=IF(BE4=TRUE,SUMIFS(R:R,I:I,BD4,J:J,BD5),SUMIFS(R:R,J:J,BD5))
Your formula
=SUMIFS(R:R,IF(BE4=TRUE,I:I),IF(BE4=TRUE,BD4),J:J,BD5)
You are saying:
Sum from column R everything if match in J with BD5 and IF BE4 is TRUE THEN in I IF match with BD5. Well, the error is because, if BE4 is true is returning a string not a range. Instead you could use this:
=SUMIFS(R:R,INDIRECT(IF(BE4=TRUE,I:I)),INDIRECT(IF(BE4=TRUE,BD4)),J:J,BD5)
And it will be ok, until BE4 is FALSE. because the INDIRECT function return an #REF!... and will be a mess.
I'm not sure if I get the whole idea, but please tell me if you need an emprovement.
Edit #1
Reading your comments I think this could help:
=IF(BE4=TRUE,SUMIFS(R:R,I:I,BD4),0)+IF(BE4=TRUE,SUMIFS(R:R,J:J,BD5))
Try to post some dummie database (using text table format) to give you a better help... and remember to read this: How to ask because your question is to vague, and it was necesary to many comments and answers to "guess" what you really want.
Try this array formula:
=SUMIFS(N:N,IF($A$2,E:E,T:T),IF($A$2,$C$2,""),IF($A$3,F:F,T:T),IF($A$3,$C$3,""),IF($A$4,H:H,T:T),IF($A$4,$C$4,""),IF($A$5,I:I,T:T),IF($A$5,$C$5,""))
It is an array formula and must be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter.
This is based on your data sheet provided. You will need to change the references to your sheet. The column T reference should be a column that is empty.
I needed to do the same thing. The formula needed to look at a different column as Criteria_Range2 depending on product. I put an IF statement for both the Criteria_Range2, and for the Criteria2 because each column had slightly different information. Basically, it tells the formula use column C (in another worksheet) as the Criteria_Range2 if the product category is anything other than Ceilings. If it is Ceilings, it uses column A as Criteria_Range2. On my worksheet, Column A is a "helper column" that groups our Ceilings sub-products into Tile and Grid.
Hopefully this isn't too confusing, but it works for me and I didn't easily find anything else out there showing how to use IF statements in the Criteria Ranges in the SUMIFS. (I suggest ignoring the very ugly xlookup defining the sum_range.)
SUMIFS(XLOOKUP($AF$20&"COGS CM MTD",Fact_Sales!$E$6:$CS$6&Fact_Sales!$E$7:$CS$7,Fact_Sales!$E$8:$CS$928),Fact_Sales!$B$8:$B$928,'Report Draft'!$AE27,IF('Report Draft'!$AD27<>"CEILINGS",Fact_Sales!$C$8:$C$928,Fact_Sales!$A$8:$A$928),IF('Report Draft'!$AD27<>"CEILINGS",'Report Draft'!$AD27,'Report Draft'!$AF27))
