How do I test values in 2 different columns in a "sumif" formula?
I want to sum values in column C based on a test of text values in columns A
& B. Sumif only seems to support testing the value of one column not two. Is there a way to accomplish my goal? |

How do I test values in 2 different columns in a "sumif" formula?
Hi Steve
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$1:$A$100="text1")*($B$1:$B$100="te xt2")*$C$1:$C$100) Change ranges to suit, but ensure that they are of equal size. -- Regards Roger Govier "SteveS" wrote in message ...

How do I test values in 2 different columns in a "sumif" formula?
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A200="value1"),--(B2:B200="value2),C2:C200)
SP doesn't support full columns (not until Excel 200&), but specific ranges. -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "SteveS" wrote in message ...

Try something like this:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A10="some_text"),--(B1:B10="some_text"),C1:C10) Better to use cells to hold the criteria: E1 = whatever E2 = whatever =SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A10=E1),--(B1:B10=E2),C1:C10) Biff "SteveS" wrote in message ...

How do I test values in 2 different columns in a "sumif" formu
Hi,
What is the advantage of this over Roger's formula? -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "Bob Phillips" wrote: =SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A200="value1"),--(B2:B200="value2),C2:C200) SP doesn't support full columns (not until Excel 200&), but specific ranges. -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "SteveS" wrote in message ...

How do I test values in 2 different columns in a "sumif" formu
Slightly more efficient.
If you have Excel 2002 or higher use the Evaluate Formula command and see how many steps it takes each variation of the formula to calculate. I would use a small data set for this, like 5-10 rows. If you actually timed the calculation the difference would probably be negligible on a small dataset. But on a large dataset there is a considerable difference.

Bob has some details--when one formula is better than the other (and under
different circumstances, each will be better than the other): http://www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.SUMPRODUCT.html ShaneDevenshire wrote: Hi, What is the advantage of this over Roger's formula? -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "Bob Phillips" wrote: =SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A200="value1"),--(B2:B200="value2),C2:C200) SP doesn't support full columns (not until Excel 200&), but specific ranges. -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "SteveS" wrote in message ...

Ah! so it's a speed issue, I hadn't tested that.

It's also an aesthetic thing, it looks 'righter' to me, although there are
instances where one works and the other doesn't and vice versa. -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "ShaneDevenshire" wrote in message ...
