  1. Was looking at a database set-up by someone and long gone; came across this formula:
    =SUMPRODUCT(--(DELIVERY[DATE]<$C$3),DELIVERY[105MM BAG])-SUMPRODUCT(--(DELIVERY[DATE]<$C$1),DELIVERY[105MM BAG])
    Please help me understand what this formula means in words as seen in the examples above.

    Note: "C3" is a date - start of a new month
    "C1" is a date - start of the previous month or just ended
    "Delivery" - The worksheet name
    "105MM BAG" - Title of a column in the Delivery worksheet and product being counted

  2. Dear How can i use sumproduct formula for two, three column and sum function for other columns and finally multiply result with one cell. thanks

  3. good explanation and we are learning this excel in this page

  4. Thanks for you help

  5. IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(F$26>=Inputs!$B$2:$B$22),--(F$260,1,"")
    I want particular column value instated of 1 in this formula

  6. IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(F$26>=Inputs!$B$2:$B$8343),--(F$260,1,"")
    I want particular column value instated of 1 in this formula

  7. Hi,
    I'm figuring out a formula to count how many times the value is repeated based on a reference. I have summed the total quantity from the duplicate - Product name and barcode (Column E)
    Ex: A = Name of the Store
    B = Item Name
    C= Barcode
    D = Quantity
    E = Sum of Duplicate - Using product name and barcode
    F = ? First I want to check how many times the store name is repeated and then identify the duplicates within that store and later count the duplicates against the barcode or product name. So if same product it is identified within that store name, I can sort and delete it. Or if you can sum the duplicate within the store also good for me.

  8. Hello,
    I am after some help please?
    I have a worksheet with 4 columns (Reason, StartTime, EndTime & Total Minutes), the Total Minutes are calculated as EndTime-StartTime to give a value in HH:mm:ss example data with columns seperated by ~ below:
    Fixed Break~24/12/2019 12:15:03~27/12/2019 10:11:59~69:56:56
    Fixed Break~25/12/2019 12:00:00~25/12/2019 13:00:00~01:00:00
    Weather~25/12/2019 13:30:00~25/12/2019 17:30:00~04:00:00
    What I need to do is to get a sum of the Total Minutes where Reason = "Fixed Break" & Total Minutes > 180 (3 hours).
    I can get the total minutes of the records over 3 hours with the following but this is including the Weather record (where Total Minutes is a merge of columns N to P):
    =SUMPRODUCT((Quay7!$N$113:$P$139-TIME(0,0,0))*(Quay7!$N$113:$P$139>TIME(0,180,0)))
    I can also get the total minutes for Reason = "Fixed Breaks" with the following (but this includes the 1 hour record):
    =SUMIF(Quay7!$A$113:$D$139,"Fixed Break",Quay7!$N$113:$P$139)
    However when I try and combine both of these functions I either get a #VALUE error or a blank cell.

    Your help will be very much appreciated.

    Many Thanks & Kind Regards

  9. Nice work. Very helpful

  10. I have 3 columns. One is on the first tab and the other 2 are on the second tab. I want the column on the first tab to find any matching values in the column in the second tab. If there is a match/multiple matches, I want it to grab the values in the 3 column on the second tab and return the sum. Hope this makes sense and there is someone that can assist! Thank you,

  11. I have problem with selecting right column when creating sumproduct formula.. How should define column depending on day number? For example when it is 6th may it must look 6th column which is marked as 6 in first row. Next day should look into 7th column etc....

  12. Need to create dashboard for time log, we have data as date, task, activity and time spent.
    Activities are with respective to Tasks but there was no condition given so people have mixed the task and activities. Need to prepare a dashboard to show the miss match data and correct data with time spent.
    For example : Below date is miss match
    Date Task Activity hours
    12-Oct-19 Out of office Idle 8
    13-Oct-19 Running Idle Leave/off 8
    Below data is correct data
    Date Task Activity hours
    07-Oct-19 Out of office Leave/off 8
    08-Oct-19 Running Idle Idle 8
    Task and activities with respective time spent dash board needed. Please help. I'm missing the logic to write the formula for dashboard.

  13. Thank you for this tip.

  14. I am trying to use SUMPRODUCT to multiply the Hours * Rate of a data source for Timekeeper = X and for hours recorded in month =1.
    Column B = Date
    Column C = Hours
    Column K = Rate
    Column N = Timekeeper
    Every time I do it I get zero or #value error and can't figure it out what I am doing wrong.

    I have used the Sumifs formula to calculate the total Hours for the timekeeper X for Month 1 and that works great =SUMIFS(activities!$C:$C,activities!$N:$N,Monthly!C$5,activities!$B:$B,">="&Monthly!$A6,activities!$B:$B,"<="&EOMONTH($A6,0),activities!$L:$L,""&"")

    Thank you for your assistance.

  16. I need assistance on extracting just the large index number of this column that contains. Not the text just the larger index.
    CR 5006193154

  17. Hi, I've searched the internet for a way to extract numbers only from a text string using a formula and found this
    =SUMPRODUCT(MID(0&A5, LARGE(INDEX(ISNUMBER(--MID(A5, ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A5))), 1)) * ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A5))), 0), ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A5))))+1, 1) * 10^ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A5)))/10)
    I would like an explanation how this works.
    Many thanks in advance.

  18. Thank you very much...

  19. Hello!

    Thank you for this post. It is very well done.

    Any chance you know of a way to sumproduct only cells that are visible and exclude blank values from the calculation?

    Kind Regards,

  20. I appreciate you are busy and may not be able to Tokyo but I think it’s still worth and ask, fingers crossed. I am using the sumproduct formula below but can’t get it to work dynamically so I don’t have to edit it for different table headers of which Cit13_Hits is just one of many. In addition the conditional value 5 that it is summing for is also variable and can be from 1-9.

    When I use cell references for these parts of the formula then the formula fails. Is here any way to carry out this so I can simply copy the formula without having to edit it manually for the changing variable name and values?

    =(SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(Results[CIT13_Hits],1)="5"),--(INDEX(Results,0,MATCH($H$4,Results[#Headers],0))="CY")))

    Many thanks
    Gary

  21. I'd like assistance on something that seems easy. I want A1*B1 + A1*C1 + A1*D1
    I tried SUMPRODUCT(B1:D1, {A1,A1,A1}) but that doesn't work.
    Can you help? Thank you in advance!

  22. Thanks for teaching me the sumproduct formula in details

  23. Hi Svetlana.
    I am trying to create Sumproduct formula to calculate total sum of deviations between OB and CC if deviation is >0 (I need to calculate 9). With this formula '=SUMPRODUCT(B2:I2-B3) I receive 1 that is total of all deviations. How to add a criteria >0 to the formula?
    wk1 wk2 wk3 wk4
    OB 17 29 25 30
    CC 25 25 25 25
    0 4 0 5
    Thank you in advance!

  24. This formula works for 2 criteria, Region and Name...
    '=SUMPRODUCT((($D$1:$O$1>=$Q$1)*($D$1:$O$1<=$R$1))*($A$2:$A$49=$S$1)*($C$2:$C$49=$U1)*$D$2:$O$49)

    1. Hello Eric,

      Our blog engine sometimes mangles comments, sorry for this.

      Your formula won't work, firstly, because D1:O1 (text values) cannot be compared to Q1 and R1 (dates); and secondly because the ranges ($D$1:$O$1, $A$2:$A$49, etc.) are of different size.
      If, in your summary table (Q1 or R1), you enter the target month exactly as it is written in $D$1:$O$1, then the task can be accomplished with an array formula that you can find in this sample sheet.

  25. D1:O1 is the months of the year
    Q1=1/1/19
    R1=2/1/19
    A2:A49 is the Region
    S1=North
    B2:B49 are the Items
    T1=Apples
    C2:C49 is the Name
    U1=Bob
    D2:O49 is the data.

  26. Cont.
    D1:O1 is the months of the year / Q1=1/1/19 / R1=2/1/19 / A2:A49 is the Region / S1=North / B2:B49 are the Items / T1=Apples
    C2:C49 is the Name / U1=Bob / D2:O49 is the data.

  27. This is the formula I'm trying...
    '=SUMPRODUCT((($D$1:$O$1>=$Q$1)*($D$1:$O$1<=$R$1))*($A$2:$A$49=$S$1)*($B$2:$B$49=$T$1)*($C$2:$C$49,$U1)*$D$2:$O$49)

  28. Why is half of my message missing.
    I’m trying to create a SUMPRODUCT for 3 criteria and add multiple columns. Similar to Example 3 above, but add a column to the right of Item, call it Name, and the data is for a year across columns to the right. This is the formula I'm trying...
    '=SUMPRODUCT((($D$1:$O$1>=$Q$1)*($D$1:$O$1=$Q$1)*($D$1:$O$1<=$R$1))*($A$2:$A$49=$S$1)*($C$2:$C$49=$U1)*$D$2:$O$49)

  29. I’m trying to create a SUMPRODUCT for 3 criteria and add multiple columns. Similar to Example 3 above, but add a column to the right of Item, call it Name, and the data is for a year across columns to the right. This is the formula I'm trying...

    but when I try to add in the 3rd criteria the formula returns #VALUE :( help

  34. Hi

    I have a challenge for you guys out there :)

    I have the following scenario:

    Excel Sheet 1 :
    A1 : Apples
    A2 : Oranges
    A3 : Watermelon
    A4 : Lemon
    ...etc...
    A30 : Strawberry

    I would like to use ALL the above as criteria on which to base my SUMIF, i.e. if A3 : Watermelon is removed from the list, my SUM should not return @watermelon' values but should return all the rest ....

    Any ideas ?

    Thanks
    Brian

    Your formula:
    =SUMPRODUCT((A6:A31="1217000")*(B6:B31="17")*(C6:C31))
    > Excel will treat your second factor, "(B6:B31="17")", as a string value, "17", if you enclose the value in quotes.
    > Either you have to (1) reformat the cells in col. B so that they are "Text", or (2) remove the quotes from the "17" in the formula.
    =SUMPRODUCT((A6:A31="1217000")*(B6:B31=17)*(C6:C31))

    > Your formula is:
    =SUMPRODUCT((BalDate<=($A5+(ROW($A5)/86400)))*(Type="D")*(BankCode=$H5)*(Amount))-SUMPRODUCT((BalDate The formula has two identical subformulas. the first one sums the Type="D" items, where BankCode = $H5 and the Balance Dates that are greater than or equal to the term, "($A5+(ROW($A5)/86400)" the second one does the same thing, but with the Type="W" items.

  41. Hi,

    I have always used the multiplier to calculate SUM for multiple criteria (column and rows) & was trying the same using the double unary operator but it keeps returning a #value error

    Could you please help what is incorrect about this formula - trying to understand the logic!

    Thanks

  44. Hi,

    Plz provide unique count qty formulas.

  45. Hello!

    I'm struggling with a weighted average using same column. Any advice is appreciated.

    Example table:
    Section Indicator Type Data
    Sec1 IndA x 100
    Sec2 IndB x 20
    Sec n Ind m -- number

    Weighted average using criteria Section, Indicator, and Type.

    Basically, for Type X to make Indicator B weighted average using Indicator A.

    As a note, the table is really big and there are may indicators and types. however, the consolidation is to be per type. Section is an additional filter as one indicator (with different unit of measure) may appear in other section. Using this filter will assure consistency.

    Thank you in advance for your time and help!

  46. Hi, I am trying to sum sales data in a table based on 2 criteria, where the 2nd criterion is actually a range. The sumifs formula below worked fine when the 2nd criterion was a single value rather than a range.

    I need the formula to effect "sum if sales terr matches a cell AND product family matches any values in the range". I appreciate any help. Thanks

    I need to sum sales data per these criteria:

    1. sales territory as defined in column E in worksheet2 (in the formulas below)... I am copying the formula down a table so the territory flows e2, e3, e4, and so forth.
    2. product family matches ANY one of the values in a range

    =sumifs('raw data file'!SalesData,'raw data file'!Sales_Terr,$e2-sales_terr cell_in_worksheet2,'raw data file'!ProductFamily,worksheet2!(C2:C11))

    =sumproduct(('raw data file'!Sales_Terr=$e2),*('raw data file'!ProductFamily={worksheet2!(C2)}+('raw data file'!ProductFamily={worksheet2!(C3)} .. etc.. 'raw data file'!SalesData))
