Hi,

I need to do a sum of $ value, but there are 3 conditions to it, and those
conditions are written in the cells of a spreadsheet. So

Region Product Group
UK toys ABC
IE puzzles BCD
UK puzzles ABC

I have a long list, and the lookup sheet is on another sheet. I can't
hardcode the 3 conditions, it needs to reference the cells( which as you can
see change on every row). How do i do this?

Assume you have identically sized defined names for the source data in the
other sheet, viz: Region, Product, Group and Amt

Assume your parameter table (as posted) is in A1:C4
Placed in say, D2:
=SUMPRODUCT((Region=A2)*(Product=B2)*(Group=C2),Am t)
will return the required sum for the params in A2:C2
Copy D2 down to return correspondingly for the other triplet params

Well, you will have to change the range references to suit the layout
of your data on the other sheet (assumed to be called "data"), but try
this:

=SUMPRODUCT((data!A1:A1000=A2)*(data!B1:B1000=B2)* (data!
C1:C1000=C2),data!D1:D1000)

Put this in D2 of your summary sheet, and then copy down as required.
I have assumed that you want to sum column D from the data sheet.

Hope this helps.

A1=UK

region in OtherSheet!$A$1:$A$1000

with values in OtherSheet!$D$1:$D$1000 use the formula

(OtherSheet!$C$1:$C$1000=C1),OtherSheet!$D$1:$D$10 00,0))

CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER this formula as this is an array-formula

then copy down

In Excel 2007 you can use the SUMIFS function.

In earlier versions, something like:

=sumproduct((region=A2)*(product=B2)*(group=C2)*(r ef_to_list_of_values))

Thanks this one worked, and i learnt something knew :)

Michelle: To be fair to us "sumproduct" responders, our suggestion works
equally well, and doesn't require array-entering, to boot. The nuances &
styles in our responses may differ, but the sumproduct works, believe me.

Michelle, Max is right, SUMPRODUCT works well
nowadays SUMPRODUCT seem to have more followers, is simpler, my
laziness is the reason why I still use array-formulae

If my post was helpful pls click "YES"

thks

Hi Max, I tried both methods, its simply that in this scenario when i applied
the Sumproduct it didn't work out. I certainly would have prefered an easier
formula- after all I have to maintain it too:)
