summing with multiple criteria
- Sep 18, 2021
Lycias If using Excel 365 you can use dynamic arrays to FILTER the three lines and then SUMIFS to get the totals. Two formulas and a third to pull the data to another table.
Formula 1, G3
- defines the data range as a3:d11.
- The wanted data is all rows in dataRange and column 1 and 3.
- Criteria is all rows (zero means all rows when indexing only one column) column 4
- Output is data columns where the length of the criteria column is greater than 0
=LET(dataRange;A3:D11;
dataCols;INDEX(dataRange;SEQUENCE(ROWS(dataRange));{1\3});
criteraCol;INDEX(dataRange;0;4);
output;FILTER(dataCols;LEN(criteraCol)>0);
output
)The last parameter "output" may be changed to the other names for exploring each part.
Formula 2, i3
G3# is the dynamic range anchored in cell G3:
INDEX(G3#;0;1) means all rows (zero) and column 1 being the filtered names.
D3:D11;"<>" means not empty.=SUMIFS(B3:B11;A3:A11;INDEX(G3#;0;1);C3:C11;INDEX(G3#;0;2);D3:D11;"<>")
Formula 3, p3
Concatenates m3:m14 with a pipe and n3:n14.
The combination is then xlookup'ed in the same combination of name and class.=XLOOKUP(M3:M14 & "|" & N3:N14;INDEX(G3#;0;1) & "|" & INDEX(G3#;0;2);I3#;"")
Formula 1 and 2 gives in much result similar to a pivot table but this does not need manual updating.
The solution uses functions as of now available only in Excel 365 but will be available in Excel 2021 .
bosinander, this is what get on a sample of the data......somehow the SUMIFS doesn't seem to recognize that I want the sum for each region, for each class only when it is not empty for the cov column. kindly se attached. not sure where it is not right. For this region, the sum I want should be 148 530 for class "high" but it is giving me a total which i know is for all "high" for region a not only those "high" that are not empty in column "cov". Thanks!
