Complex sum required
Hi,
I have exported a table of monthly account balances in the following layout: a/c, descr, bal b/f, mvt mth 1, mvt mth 2, etc.... and to summarise the balance at any given point in the year I need to add the columns together. I have used various SUMIF and SUM(IF array formulas to get what I need bases on matching text from the description column. However I am struggling with my loans as the descriptions are inconsistent, i.e. CT Loan and Loan to ABC, etc. A SUMIF will let me use 'wild cards' to match *Loan* but will only total the first column (so fine for an opening balance) and an array such as SUM(IF doesn't seem to allow wild cards to match all loans - though when used with exact text add the relevant number of columns I enter. Am I trying the impossible - it can't be that hard can it? Thanks in advance of your help |
