Hi

Not sure if you got to read this but, I'm having a problem with the formula
where it is adding up amounts for a customer every time the customer is
mentioned, for example Telstra occurs 3 times as it is classified under 3
different industries therefore giving back the incorrect amount.

Problem with the formula result, as column A has duplicate entries & b also
has duplicate entries, the result is giving me incorrect financial data as it
is adding all the duplicates up. What my data is made up of is multiple
different customers with multiple different industries, but a customer might
be in more than one industry and an industry might have more than one
customer. Therefore you see my problem, is an index/match formula an
alternative for this problem?????

Sorry I forgot to ask, does it make a difference to the formula if the
columns A & B are text fields?

I see that you've posted this a few times and you're having a hard time
understanding the replies you've recieved.

Have you actually tried any of the suggestions? Did any of the
suggestions
work? If none of the suggestions worked then we are not understanding
what
you want to do.

Thanks for the information, however if the base data in Sheet 1
changes,
meaning customer name and industry how does the formula no that it
needs
to
look for a different value in sheet 2?

The formula tests the contents of the cells on sheet2 to see which, if
any,
match the cells on sheet1. If you change the contents of the cells on
either
sheet it will not affect how the formula works.

Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet2!A$6:A$51=A6)--(Sheet2!B$6:B$51=B6),Sheet2!I$6:I$51)

Copy down as needed.

Hi Helpppp!

Sheet 1 is something like this
Colum A6 to A51 is a customer name
Column B6 to B51 is a industry region
in Column H6 to H51 I need a result based on the first two criteria
Customer
name and industry region from Sheet 2

Sheet 2 is something like this
Colum A6 to A51 is a customer name
Column B6 to B51 is a industry region
in column I6 to I51 I have the budget figure than needs to go back
into
sheet 1.

I can not join the two criteria because of an interactive report i
need
to
generate later. Thanks for any help.
