Repost (Comparing two ranges)
Apologies for the re-post. Need to clarify this to avoid confusion. Is is
possible to compare two ranges and return a list of booleans illustrating where the values in one range reside in the other. Assume Range 1 is as follows (A1:A10): Dog Cat Man Women Car Rain Black In Peter Acid Assume Range 2 is as follows (A12:A16): Rain Blue Mary Stick Dog In cell A17, I want to insert a SUMPRODUCT function. For the first range variable of the SUMPRODUCT, I want to illustrate where the items in Range 2 reside in Range 1 as follows. {1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0} showing that both "Rain" and "Dog" reside in Range 1 in positions 1 and 6. The the first range in the SUMPRODUCT function would look like this if you highlighted in and hit F9: SUMPRODUCT({1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0}, Range2) Any ideas on what type of logic I would use within this SUMPRODUCT function to create the boolean data above? Thanks EM |

I think you still need to clarify what you're trying to accomplish.
1) SUMPRODUCT requires its arguments to be of the same dimension. Yours aren't. 2) Even if they were, the result would be zero, since Range2 consists only of text. You can generate the {1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0} using COUNTIF(Range2,Range1) For instance, =SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(Range2,Range1)) returns 2. But since the arrays are different sizes =SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(Range2,Range1),Range2) returns #VALUE! (rather than zero). In article , ExcelMonkey wrote: Apologies for the re-post.

This will evaluate to that array:
--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1:A10,A12:A16,0))) What are you trying to do? Biff "ExcelMonkey" wrote in message ... Apologies for the re-post. Need to clarify this to avoid confusion.

It may be easier to send a spreadsheet example as explaining it seems to be
difficult. Do you have an email address that I can send an example to?

Repost (Comparing two ranges)
Yes this works but I just realized that this does not work they way I need it
too for duplicates. So if my example has a duplicate in Range 2 (i.e. "Rain") the result will look like {1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0} - as it should. But I would need it to look like this {1,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0} which is no longer boolean as I originally suggested. How would I incorporate this to accomodate the duplicate? Remember I want to put it into a SUMPRODUCT function. SUMPRODUCT({1,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0}, OtherRange). I need to incorporate a countif into the array.

Repost (Comparing two ranges)
Below, I have annual data ("profiles") in range B2:D6. I use the names in
range A2:A6 to drive data validation dropdown boxes in the range B9:D11. My goal is to use this data to populate various business units of a firm ("sites") across various cost centres ("Var Cost"). In range B14:D16 I want to show the consolidated "Site" data expressed across time for each "Var Cost". The solution you provided works fine if I do not have duplicates. Using =SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(MATCH($A$2:$A$6,$B9:$D9,0))),B$2:B$6) in cell B14, I get the sum of Profiles1,2 and 3 for 2006. However this does not work in B15 as =SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(MATCH($A$2:$A$6,$B10:$D10,0))),B$2:B$6) has a duplicate in it. The result does not take into account the duplicate "Profile 2". I was hoping that I could come up with a way to use the sumproduct formual so that I could create an array which showed the number of times the chosen profiles (in data validation boxes) per Var Cost showed up in the original list of "Profiles" (B2:B6). {1,1,1,0,0} for B14 {0,2,1,0,0} for B15 {0,0,1,1,1} for B16 Not I am doing this because I do not want to use pivot tables nor VBA. It needs to be formulas. And I want to consolidate the "Site" data. Any easier way around this would be to not consolidate the data and break "Var Cost" down by site. But I do not want to do this. Is there a way to compare two ranges where you can create an array illustrating the number of times the items in the first array appear in the second array? If not, do you have any other ideas? A B C D 1 2006 2007 2008 2 Profile 1 0.50 0.65 0.60 3 Profile 2 0.68 0.17 0.37 4 Profile 3 0.51 0.42 0.94 5 Profile 4 0.50 0.08 0.07 6 Profile 5 0.87 0.14 0.19 7 Site 1 Site 2 Site 3 8 9 Var Cost 1 Profile 1 Profile 2 Profile 3 10 Var Cost 2 Profile 2 Profile 3 Profile 2 11 Var Cost 5 Profile 5 Profile 4 Profile 3 12 13 2006 2007 2008 14 Var Cost 1 1.696 ? ? 15 Var Cost 2 1.193 ? 16 Var Cost 3 ? ?

Remember I want to put it into a SUMPRODUCT function. SUMPRODUCT({1,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0}, OtherRange). I need to incorporate a countif into the array. Thanks EM Assume Range 1 is as follows (A1:A10): Dog Cat Man Women Car Rain Black In Peter Acid Assume Range 2 is as follows (A12:A16): Rain Blue Rain Stick Dog "T. Valko" wrote: This will evaluate to that array: --(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1:A10,A12:A16,0))) What are you trying to do? Biff "ExcelMonkey" wrote in message ... Apologies for the re-post. Need to clarify this to avoid confusion. Is is possible to compare two ranges and return a list of booleans illustrating where the values in one range reside in the other. Assume Range 1 is as follows (A1:A10): Dog Cat Man Women Car Rain Black In Peter Acid Assume Range 2 is as follows (A12:A16): Rain Blue Mary Stick Dog In cell A17, I want to insert a SUMPRODUCT function. For the first range variable of the SUMPRODUCT, I want to illustrate where the items in Range 2 reside in Range 1 as follows. {1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0} showing that both "Rain" and "Dog" reside in Range 1 in positions 1 and 6. The the first range in the SUMPRODUCT function would look like this if you highlighted in and hit F9: SUMPRODUCT({1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0}, Range2) Any ideas on what type of logic I would use within this SUMPRODUCT function to create the boolean data above? Thanks EM |
