Adding a Column Filter to my current formula

Brass Contributor

Good morning all! I'm trying to modify my current formula to filter results by a column value if it matches another table's column. My example dataset is attached, but here's the goal:

 

Table1

NamesZones1/1/20224/1/20227/1/202210/1/20221/1/20234/1/20237/1/2023

My current formula is:

=IFERROR(SUM(
MMULT(
--(Table2[Assigned] = Table1[@[Name]:[Name]] ),
SEQUENCE( COLUMNS( Table2[Assigned] ), , 1,0) ) *
Table2[[Sum]:[Sum]] *
( Table2[[Start]:[Start]] <=
DATEVALUE(Table1[[#Headers],[1/1/2022]] )
) *
( Table2[[Complete]:[Complete]] >=
DATEVALUE(Table1[[#Headers],[1/1/2022]] )
)
),"")

 

But I need it to say if Table 1's zone matches the zone in Table 2 for that person, then return value from Sum column, that way I get the value for the person for the respective zone. 

 

Thank you!

@keltzjd I would recommend that you use the FILTER in stead of the a rather complicated combination of MMULT and SEQUENCE. The basic syntax is as follows:

=SUM(FILTER(Table2, (Assigned=Name)*(Zone=Zones)*(Start<=HeaderDate)*(Complete>=HeaderDate))

 

Since you already know how to make the structured references absolute and how to overcome the fact that the "HeaderDate" in Table1 is a text, I trust you can get it to work yourself.

 

But, I couldn't resist to create something in PowerQuery as well. See attached.

I agree, but I've already built a dashboard that has this filter across 20 or so sheets, so I'm kind of stuck with using this formula lol. Do you know how to achieve it using my current formula? Thanks!

@keltzjd I guess you can expand it with with one more rule. I.e. multiply by an array where the Zone in table2 agrees to the zone in table1. Similar to what you have now for finding matching names.

This is what my formula looks like with that addition but it's not working, where am I getting it wrong?

=SUM(
MMULT(
--(Table57[[PM]:[CM5]] = Table27[@[Name]:[Name]] ),
SEQUENCE( COLUMNS( Table57[[PM]:[CM5]] ), , 1,0) ) *
(Table57[Zone] = Table27[@[Zone]:[Zone]] ),
SEQUENCE( COLUMNS( Table57[Zone] ), , 1,0) ) *
Table57[[SUM]:[SUM]] *
( Table57[[Start Date]:[Start Date]] <=
DATEVALUE(Table27[[#Headers],[1/1/2022]] )
) *
( Table57[[End Date]:[End Date]] >=
DATEVALUE(Table27[[#Headers],[1/1/2022]] )
)
)

@keltzjd I used the file you sent earlier. Seems to work as expected. See Attached.

 

It did! Thank you so much!
