SUMIF [sum_range] select different columns

Hi to everyone!

First of all, thank you for your help!

 

I have been struggling with a SUMIF formula (SUMAR.SI in Spanish)

As you know, the syntax of the formula is SUMIF(range, criteria, [sum_range])

I would like to change the [sum_range] column depending on a formula.

 

The data I want to obtain the info from is organiced like this (by products):

 

A

B

C

D

E

F

G

9.440,00

11.360,00

6.080,00

6.240,00

5.920,00

9.280,00

7.680,00

6.880,00

11.200,00

15.200,00

10.560,00

11.360,00

9.280,00

6.880,00

 

The columns, as you can see, are the different months.

Depending on which week (semana) of the year I’m preparing the report, I want to SUMIF from that specific month.

Per example,

If I want to SUMIF the budget “Presupuesto” of September “sep” I would write: SUMAR.SI(A:A;”Presupuesto”;D:D)

If I want to SUMIF the budget “Presupuesto” of December “dic” I would write: SUMAR.SI(A:A;”Presupuesto”;G:G)

 

The problem is that I don’t want to have to write the last argument of the formula, I want it to be given from a cell that contains another formula (that VLOOKS up from a table that contains the different weeks of the year)

So, my question is…

Is it possible to write the SUMIF formula obtaining the [sum_range] from another specific cell that contains a formula?

 

Thanks again,

Angela.

  • Hi Angela,

    Are you using SUMIF becuase there will be multiple rows with values for items like Presupuesto and Venta Semana? If not then then there may be an alternative way using INDEX MATCH MATCH

    If there will be multiple occurrences then another simpler approach would be to use Power Query to "unpivot" the data so the months end up in a single column rather than across the columns. Then a simple SUMIFS formula would work.
    Is this an option for you?

    Let me know and I can advise further
