Hi,
I think i posed this question already but i dont think it made sense.
So,

Im basically trying to do analysis on a variety of trades in a list
that have their symbols in range b1:b500. In addition to the symbol
name, i also check 3 other criteria before calculating. So , i have
sum(if statements that consider these criterion. The problem is that
out of all the trades there are 10 unique futures products each with
their own unique multiplier and formatting. They are easy to include
in the formula because they each are represented by their own column
in the analysis worksheet. The tricky part is that after these 10
unique futures, there are 1000's of other stocks i trade that have
different symbols. However they ALL share the same parameters for
analysis (except for name). They can all be considered as the 11th
product.

So my question is, in the column where i group stocks together for
analysis, how can i write the sum(if formula that will consider the 3
other criteria in a trade in addition to the symbol name, but where in
this case the symbol can be anything OTHER THAN the 10 unique futures
symbols that i have in a list elsewhere in the worksheet.

Ive tried OR statements: OR(a1:a500 <"ES, a1:a20<"NQ" etc etc
but it doesnt count each occurrence, it only results in true/false.

How can i write a formula that looks at 3 other critera, and then also
looks to see if the name is NOT in the listed range of names.... and
if true - counts only those occurrences or gives a sum for only those
occurring rows ?

The sum(if statement i wrote will consider the 4 criteria... except
the 4th one (name of symbol not in range) will only give a true/false
and thus if it is true - the formula will count EVERY trade that has
the other 3 criteria as true. If the OR statement is false, it
results in the false result (0).

I have: (1st 3 are other criterion, then the OR statement checks
names)-

=sum(IF($C$2:$C$1028<0,IF($G$2:$G$1028<=$H$1,IF($ H$2:$H$1028="scalp",OR($B$2:$B$1028=B3,$B$2:$B$102 8=C3,$B$2:$B$1028=D3,$B$2:$B$1028=E3,$B$2:$B$1028= F3,$B$2:$B$1028=G3,$B$2:$B$1028=H3,$B$2:$B$1028=I3 ,$B$2:$B$1028=J3,$B$2:$B$1028=K3),n2:1028,0)))
