I have been trying to get this array function to output (non-zero) minimum values in the 'FINAL DATA' AE column. Can you see a structural error in this formula?
=IF($C$4="All EMEA",
MIN(IF('FINAL DATA'!$2:$AE$250000<>0,
('FINAL DATA'!$J$2:$J$250000=$C$4)*('FINAL DATA'!$E$2:$E$250000=$E$4)*( 'FINAL DATA'!$AE$2:$AE$250000))),
MIN(IF('FINAL DATA'!$AE$2:$AE$250000<>0,
('FINAL DATA'!$K$2:$K$250000=$C$4)*('FINAL DATA'!$E$2:$E$250000=$E$4)*( 'FINAL DATA'!$AE$2:$AE$250000)))
)
By using <>0 that will eliminate zeroes and blanks, so that isn't the problem.....[although if you only want to eliminate blanks and have zero as a valid return value you should use <>""]
You can't multiply the conditions with the number range because by multiplying you get zeroes for any rows where the conditions are not satisfied, use multiple IFs instead, like this:
=MIN(IF('FINAL DATA'!$AE$2:$AE$250000<>0,IF('FINAL DATA'!$J$2:$J$250000=$C$4,IF('FINAL DATA'!$E$2:$E$250000=$E$4,'FINAL DATA'!$AE$2:$AE$250000))))
Second line, you have !$2, no column specified.
MIN(IF('FINAL DATA'!$2:$AE$250000<>0,
Also, it looks like you are trying to run a single If comparison against a range, which I don't think will work the way you are trying to use it.
Barry has identified the core problem (tests returnimg 0 to the MIN function).
Here's a refactor of your formula (still an array formula) that solves this, and is quite a bit shorter
=MIN(IF(($S:$S<>0)*($E:$E=$E$4)*(IF($C$4="All EMEA",$J:$J,$K:$K)=$C$4),
($S:$S)))
Note that this (as would your original formaul, when fixed) will return 0 if there are no qualifying values >0 in the ranges
You can eliminate the zeros by using an IF() function in an array formula. Consider the following:
A
Row -----
1 0
2 7
3 5
4 6
5
6 3
The array formula =MIN(IF($A$1:$A$6>0,$A$1:$A$6)) will return 3 because the 0 and blank cell are eliminated with the >0 portion of the if statement.

I'd like to find out largest sum of numbers separated by empty row. In this example I am looking to get number 6 (3+3)
1
1
2
2
3
3
Brute forcing this I would =MAX(SUM(A1:A2),SUM(A4:A5),SUM(A7:A8)) which does the job but obviously not practical. How can I express above more elegantly without hardcoding anything?
Thinking out loud, I would like to
Ingest all numbers, split by empty row into some kind of List<List>
Iterate over this list, sum numbers in child list and pick a winner
How can this be done in Excel?
There are multiple ways of doing it, this is just one of them. In cell C1 you can put the following formula:
=LET(set, A1:A9, matrix, 1*TEXTSPLIT(SUBSTITUTE(TEXTJOIN(",",
FALSE, set),",,",";"),",",";", TRUE),m, COLUMNS(matrix), ones, SEQUENCE(m,1,,0),
MAX(MMULT(matrix, ones))
)
and here is the output:
Note: The third input argument of TEXTSPLIT set to TRUE ensures you can have more than one empty row in the middle of the range. The second input argument of TEXTJOIN set to FALSE is required to ensure to generate of more than one comma (,), which is our condition to replace by the row delimiter (;) so we can split by row and columns. MMULT requires numbers and TEXTSPLIT converts the information into texts. we need to coerce the result into a number by multiplying it by 1.
The formula follows the approach you suggested, you can test the intermediate step. Instead of having as output MAX result the variable you want to verify, for example:
=LET(set, A1:A9, matrix, 1*TEXTSPLIT(SUBSTITUTE(TEXTJOIN(",",
FALSE, set),",,",";"),",",";", TRUE),m, COLUMNS(matrix), ones, SEQUENCE(m,1,,0),
TMP, MAX(MMULT(matrix, ones)), matrix
)
will produce the following output:
1 1
2 2
3 3
An alternative to MULT is to use BYROW array function (less verbose):
=LET(set, A1:A8, matrix, 1*TEXTSPLIT(SUBSTITUTE(TEXTJOIN(",",
FALSE, set),",,",";"),",",";", TRUE),MAX(BYROW(matrix, LAMBDA(m, SUM(m))))
)
In column A are IDs like "1.23.1". The first and last numbers are the ones I use to identify the IDs I am looking for. The middle numbers range from 1 to 999, so IDs could be "1.1.1" OR "1.231.1. This information is only important to show that not all IDs have the same amount of characters.
I need to add the numbers from column B that match the IDs I am looking for.
A ----------- B
1.21.1 ------------5
1.314.2 ----------6
2.2.1 -------------3
I am getting a #VALUE! error with the following formula.
=SUMPRODUCT(OR((RIGHT(A4:A6,1)="1")+0,RIGHT(A4:A6,1)="2")+0,LEFT(A4:A6,1)="1",B4:B6
I would like to add the 5 and 6 because their IDs both end with 1 or 2 and start with 1.
Example
=SUMPRODUCT((LEFT(A4:A6)="1")*((RIGHT(A4:A6)="1")+(RIGHT(A4:A6)="2"))*B4:B6)
Using the OR function will only return a single value; hence your arrays will not be all the same length; hence the #VALUE! error.
Using addition will return an array of the OR test for each cell, instead of a single OR for the entire array.
If you want to use the function with separate arrays, where you convert each test array to it's numeric equivalent, (as in your example) you can use:
=SUMPRODUCT(N(LEFT(A4:A6)="1"),N((RIGHT(A4:A6)="1")+(RIGHT(A4:A6)="2")),B4:B6)
Following from the example here I'm trying to add additional conditions to a sum formula. I've represented an example below:
The output that I'm looking for for example for Jan 2017 is
2017
1
UP A 1
UP B 6
UP C 6
DOWN A 1
DOWN B 8
DOWN C 7
I tried with the following formula:
=MMULT(--($B$17:$C$17="X"),MATCH(1,($A23=$C$2:$C$14)*(C$21=$A$2:$A$14)*(C$22=$B$2:$B$14)*($E$2:$E$14=$D$2:$D$14),0))
but I get a N/A value.
Does anyone know it if is possible to do it?
In your first example the number of rows in array1 and number of columns in array2 were equal, five. Here you have two columns and 13 rows. That they are unequal here is part (all) of the reason why you are having an issue.
Also your match function is returning a Boolean not an array
I have a way to do this using matrix condition and multiple criteria but had to change problem up a bit, see photo for example:
{=MMULT(--(D18:P18="x"),E$2:E$14*(--(A$2:A$14=$C$21)*--(B$2:B$14=$C$22)*--(C$2:C$14=A24)))"
https://i.stack.imgur.com/FEvgR.png
You can create a formula to fill the second matrix with X's see below
=IF(OR(INDIRECT("D"&VALUE(D20))=$A$18,INDIRECT("D"&VALUE(D20))=$B$18),"X","")
https://i.stack.imgur.com/4rS4L.png
That being said I don't think this is particularly efficient as you are treating the one of the matrixes as a all 1's so you basically just adding an extra criteria / Boolean with added complexity....that being said u asked for this specifically and I believe that I have delivered that LOL
Just add two SUMIFS together.
=SUMIFS($E$2:$E$14, $A$2:$A$14, C$21, $B$2:$B$14, C$22, $C$2:$C$14, $A23, $D$2:$D$14, IF(INDEX($B$17:$C$19, MATCH($B23, $A$17:$A$19, 0), 1)="x", $B$16))+
SUMIFS($E$2:$E$14, $A$2:$A$14, C$21, $B$2:$B$14, C$22, $C$2:$C$14, $A23, $D$2:$D$14, IF(INDEX($B$17:$C$19, MATCH($B23, $A$17:$A$19, 0), 2)="x", $C$16))
Say I have columns
/670 - White | /650 - black | /680 - Red | /800 - Whitest
These have data in their rows. Basically, I want to SUM their values together if their headers contain my desired string.
For modularity's sake, I wanted to merely specify to sum /670, /650, and /680 without having to mention the rest of the header text.
So, something like =SUMIF(a1:c1; "/NUM & /NUM & /NUM"; a2:c2)
That doesn't work, and honestly I don't know what i should be looking for.
Additional stuff:
I'm trying to think of the answer myself, is it possible to mention the header text as condition for ifs? Like: if A2="/650 - Black" then proceed to sum the next header. Is this possible?
Possibility it would not involve VBA, a draggable formula would be preferable!
At this point, I may as well request a version which handles the complete header name rather than just a part of it as I believe it to be difficult for formula code alone.
Thanks for having a look!
Let me know if I need to elaborate.
EDIT: In regards to data samples, any positive number will do actually, damn shame stack overflow doesn't support table markdown. Anyway, for example then..:
+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+
| A | B | C | D | E |
+---+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+
| 1 |/650 - Black |/670 - White |/800 - White |/680 - Red |/650 - Black |
+---+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+
| 2 | 250 | 400 | 100 | 300 | 125 |
+---+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+
I should have clarified:
The number range for these headers would go from /100 - /9999 and no more than that.
EDIT:
Progress so far:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GiJKFcPWzG5bDsNt93eG7WS_M5uuVk9cvkt2VGSbpxY/edit?usp=sharing
Formula:
=SUMPRODUCT((A2:D2*
(MID($A$1:$D$1,2,4)=IF(LEN($H$1)=4,$H$1&"",$H$1&" ")))+(A2:D2*
(MID($A$1:$D$1,2,4)=IF(LEN($I$1)=4,$I$1&"",$I$1&" ")))+(A2:D2*
(MID($A$1:$D$1,2,4)=IF(LEN($J$1)=4,$J$1&"",$J$1&" "))))
Apparently, each MID function is returning false with each F9 calculation.
EDIT EDIT:
Okay! I found my issue, it's the /being read when you ALSO mentioned that it wasn't required. Man, I should stop skimming!
Final Edit:
=SUMPRODUCT((RETURNSUM*
(MID(HEADER,2,4)=IF(LEN(Match5)=4,Match5&"",Match5&" ")))+(RETURNSUM*
(MID(HEADER,2,4)=IF(LEN(Match6)=4,Match6&"",Match6&" ")))+(RETURNSUM*
(MID(HEADER,2,4)=IF(LEN(Match7)=4,Match7&"",Match7&" ")))
The idea is that Header and RETURNSUM will become match criteria like the matches written above, that way it would be easier to punch new criterion into the search table. As of the moment, it doesn't support multiple rows/dragging.
I have knocked up a couple of formulas that will achieve what you are looking for. For ease I have made the search input require the number only as pressing / does not automatically type into the formula bar. I apologise for the length of the answer, I got a little carried away with the explanation.
I have set this up for 3 criteria located in J1, K1 and L1.
Here is the output I achieved:
Formula 1 - SUMPRODUCT():
=SUMPRODUCT((A4:G4*(MID($A$1:$G$1,2,4)=IF(LEN($J$1)=4,$J$1&"",$J$1&" ")))+(A4:G4*(MID($A$1:$G$1,2,4)=IF(LEN($K$1)=4,$K$1&"",$K$1&" ")))+(A4:G4*(MID($A$1:$G$1,2,4)=IF(LEN($L$1)=4,$L$1&"",$L$1&" "))))
Sumproduct(array1,[array2]) behaves as an array formula without needed to be entered as one. Array formulas break down ranges and calculate them cell by cell (in this example we are using single rows so the formula will assess columns seperately).
(A4:G4*(MID($A$1:$G$1,2,4)=IF(LEN($J$1)=4,$J$1&"",$J$1&" ")))
Essentially I have broken the Sumproduct() formula into 3 identical parts - 1 for each search condition. (A4:G4*: Now, as the formula behaves like an array, we will multiply each individual cell by either 1 or 0 and add the results together.
1 is produced when the next part of the formula is true and 0 for when it is false (default numeric values for TRUE/FALSE).
(MID($A$1:$G$1,2,4)=IF(LEN($J$1)=4,$J$1&"",$J$1&" "))
MID(text,start_num,num_chars) is being used here to assess the 4 digits after the "/" and see whether they match with the number in the 3 cells that we are searching from (in this case the first one: J1). Again, as SUMPRODUCT() works very much like an array formula, each cell in the range will be assessed individually.
I have then used the IF(logical_test,[value_if_true],[value_if_false]) to check the length of the number that I am searching. As we are searching for a 4 digit text string, if the number is 4 digits then add nothing ("") to force it to a text string and if it is not (as it will have to be 3 digits) add 1 space to the end (" ") again forcing it to become a text string.
The formula will then perform the calculation like so:
The MID() formula produces the array: {"650 ","670 ","800 ","680 ","977 ","9999","143 "}. This combined with the first search produces {TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE} which when multiplied by A4:G4
(remember 0 for false and 1 for true) produces this array: {250,0,0,0,0,0,0} essentially pulling the desired result ready to be summed together.
Formula 2: =SUM(IF(Array)): [This formula does not work for 3 digit numbers as they will exist within the 4 digit numbers! I have included it for educational purposes only]
=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($J$1,$A$1:$G$1)),A8:G8),IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($K$1,$A$1:$G$1)),A8:G8),IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($L$1,$A$1:$G$1)),A8:G8))
The formula will need to be entered as an array (once copy and pasted while still in the formula bar hit CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER)
This formula works in a similar way, SUM() will add together the array values produced where IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH() columns match the result column.
SEARCH() will return a number when it finds the exact characters in a cell which represents it's position in number of characters. By using ISNUMBER() I am avoiding having to do the whole MID() and IF(LEN()=4,""," ") I used in the previous formula as TRUE/FALSE will be produced when a match is found regardless of it's position or cell formatting.
As previously mentioned, this poses a problem as 999 can be found within 9999 etc.
The resulting array for the first part is: {250,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE} (if you would like to see the array you can highlight that part of the formula and calculate with F9 but be sure to highlight the exact brackets for that part of the formula).
I hope I have explained this well, feel free to ask any questions about stuff that you don't understand. It is good to see people keen to learn and not just fishing for a fast answer. I would be more than happy to help and explain in more depth.
I start this solution with the names in an array, you can read the header names into an array with not too much difficulty.
Sub test()
Dim myArray(1 To 4) As String
myArray(1) = "/670 - White"
myArray(2) = "/650 - black"
myArray(3) = "/680 - Red"
myArray(4) = "/800 - Whitest"
For Each ArrayValue In myArray
'Find position of last character
endposition = InStr(1, ArrayValue, " - ", vbTextCompare)
'Grab the number section from the string, based on starting and ending positions
stringvalue = Mid(ArrayValue, 2, endposition - 2)
'Convert to number
NumberValue = CLng(stringvalue)
'Add to total
Total = Total + NumberValue
Next ArrayValue
'Print total
Debug.Print Total
End Sub
This will print the answer to the debug window.
I need to be able to search my whole table for a row that matches multiple criteria. We use a program that outputs data in the form of a .csv file. It has rows that separate sets of data, each of these headers don't have any columns that are unique in of them self but if i searched the table for multiple values i should be able to pinpoint each header row. I know i can use Application.WorksheetFunction.Match to return a row on a single criteria but i need to search on two three or four criteria.
In pseudo-code it would be something like this:
Return row number were column A = bill & column B = Woods & column C = some other data
We need to work with arrays:
There are 2 kinds of arrays:
numeric {1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1}
boolean {TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE}
to convert between them we can use:
MATCH function
MATCH(1,{1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1},0) -> will result {TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE}
simple multiplication
{TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE}*{TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE} -> will result {1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1}
you can can check an array in the match function, entering it like in the picture below, be warned that MATCH function WILL TREAT AN ARRAY AS AN "OR" FUNCTION (one match will result in true
ie:
MATCH(1,{1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1},0)=TRUE
, YOU MUST CTR+SHIFT+ENTER !!! FOR IT TO GIVE AN ARRAY BACK!!!
in the example below i show that i want to sum the hours of all the employees except the admin per case
we have 2 options, the long simple way, the complicated fast way:
long simple way
D2=SUMPRODUCT(C2:C9,(A2=A2:A9)*("admin"<>B2:B9)) <<- SUMPRODUCT makes a multiplication
basically A1={2,3,11,3,2,4,5,6}*{0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0} (IT MUST BE A NUMERIC ARRAY TO THE RIGHT IN SUMPRODUCT!!!)
ie: A1=2*0+3*1+11*1+3*0+2*0+4*0+5*0+6*0
this causes a problem because if you drag the cell to autocomplete the rest of the cells, it will edit the lower and higher values of
ie: D9=SUMPRODUCT(C9:C16,(A9=A9:A16)*("admin"<>B9:B16)), which is out of bounds
same as the above if you have a table and want to view the results in a diferent order
the fast complicated way
D3=SUMPRODUCT(INDIRECT("c2:c9"),(A3=INDIRECT("a2:a9"))*("admin"<>INDIRECT("b2:b9")))
it's the same, except that INDIRECT was used on the cells that we want not be modified when autocompleting or table reorderings
be warned that INDIRECT sometimes give VOLATILE ERROR,i recommend not using it on a single cell or using it only once in an array
f* c* i cant post pictures :(
table is:
case emplyee hours totalHoursPerCaseWithoutAdmin
1 admin 2 14
1 him 3 14
1 her 11 14
2 him 3 5
2 her 2 5
3 you 4 10
3 admin 5 10
3 her 6 10
and for the functions to check the arrays, open the insert function button (it looks like and fx) then doubleclick MATCH and then if you enter inside the Lookup_array a value like
A2=A2:A9 for our example it will give {TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE} that is because only the first 3 lines are from case=1
Something like this?
Assuming that you data in in A1:C20
I am looking for "Bill" in A, "Woods" in B and "some other data" in C
Change as applicable
=IF(INDEX(A1:A20,MATCH("Bill",A1:A20,0),1)="Bill",IF(INDEX(B1:B20,MATCH("Woods",B1:B20,0),1)="Woods",IF(INDEX(C1:C20,MATCH("some other data",C1:C20,0),1)="some other data",MATCH("Bill",A1:A20,0),"Not Found")))
SNAPSHOT
I would use this array* formula (for three criteria):
=MATCH(1,((Range1=Criterion1)*(Range2=Criterion2)*(Range3=Criterion3)),0)
*commit with Ctrl+Shift+Enter
