Index Match row problem
In the attached spreadsheet, I have set up the formula to sum the set of numbers in column A until a negative number is encountered in row 5. I need to have the formula in the adjacent columns to sum to the same row irrespective of whether the number is positive or negative. The answer in Column B should be $31 and the answer in Column C should be ($63). I would appreciate any thoughts.
- I haven’t tested, but you may try, this formula in B11, copied across to C11:
=SUM(B1:INDEX(B1:B10,
MATCH(-1,INDEX(SIGN($A1:$A10),
0),0)-1))

=SUMPRODUCT(B1:B10*($A1:$A10>0))TwifooThank you for responding. Your answer worked given the information I gave earlier but I realize now that the parameters were not set up correctly. I've attached another spreadsheet with more accurate parameters. If I use your formula with the new set of numbers, the returned answer is not correct.
