I am trying to search and sum values
Hi, I am tying to make a search and sum some datebase. for example: A B C D E fekaufland 5 Namirnice wolt 6 kaufland kaufland 4 lidl konzum 8 k...
Carpusina The SEARCH part in your second formula returns an array of numbers or #VALUE errors. The IF function gets rid of the errors leaving a number when the words are matched in the same row. In your example only row5 has matching words "konzum" in both column A and D. The array that will be returned has three blanks and the number 8. SUM then returns 8.
You probably want to make use of a dynamic array function that will spill the result all at once.
Try this one in E2 and see if that does what you want:
=SUMIF(A2:A5;"*"&D2:D5&"*";B2:B5)
I have one more question if you maybe know. Can I somehow add condition that wont look at blank cells in column D?
=SUM(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(TRANSPOSE(D2:D5),A2:A5))*(TRANSPOSE(D2:D5)<>"")*B2:B5)
