EXCEL: Sum of the multiplication between two tables with the criteria matched
I have this issue, where I need to multiply between two tables with the same header. For simplicity sake, let's just put 3 products - Product A, B, C. I have month-end data for both month-...
If dates are in different order first you need return dates
e.g. as
=SORT(Qty[Date])and at the right calculate price for each date
=SUM(XLOOKUP(G3,Qty[Date],Qty[[A]:[C]])*
XLOOKUP(G3,Price[Date],Price[[A]:[C]]))
SergeiBaklanI get this, thanks!
But assuming the table is not sorted accordingly: e.g.
Price table is sorted like it's Product A, Product C, Product B; whilst
Quantity table is sorted like it's Product A, Product B, Product C
The solution proposed would not work right?
So the best way is to make sure both rows / column headers are sorted, and there isn't an alternative to it?
If columns are in different order you may use nested XLOOKUP to take proper columns
with
=SUM( XLOOKUP(Price[[#Headers],[B]:[A]], Qty[[#Headers],[A]:[C]], XLOOKUP(G3,Qty[Date],Qty[[A]:[C]]))* XLOOKUP(G3,Price[Date],Price[[B]:[A]]) )
