Difficult (at least to me) formula question
I've been using excel for 6 years and haven't come across this formula question until now. Ok, I have 2 worksheets, one being the pretty page that has the total numbers for each location and each product type over YTD. The 2nd tab is my data tab, which is data imported from our mainframe system. The data returned lists a branch code, the product type and the totals for that type, but leaves out any null values (so 3 columns). Branch 0 might have 5 products, Branch 2 might have 2, etc. My problem is that when I go to refresh the YTD data at the beginning of a new month, the position of the data changes, so I can't do a simple cell = !dataA1 formula, b/c the number will probably change to the wrong product type if a once null value becomes ummm... not null? What i would like to do is some sort of if function, but I might be co mingling my excel and SQL formulas a bit. I want to say =IF(!dataA1=0 AND !dataB1=SD-FREE THEN return data in !dataC1). I don't see how that would work though, b/c I'd have to have multiple formulas in a cell, and I know that isn't easy, if not impossible. help? -- darkwood ------------------------------------------------------------------------ darkwood's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=29948 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=496451 |

Difficult (at least to me) formula question
=IF(AND('data'!A1=0,'data'!B1="SD-FREE"),'data'!C1,"")
the "" means that if the conditions are not TRUE it will return a blank -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "darkwood" wrote in message ...

Difficult (at least to me) formula question
Actually, Now that I look at that formula, it doesn't appear to work either. I have the "pretty" form looking like this: Prod Type HQ Branch 3 Branch 5 etc.... SD 345 250 200 SD-FREE 1000 700 555 SD-REW 750 500 322 SD-STU 334 225 150 Problem here is that HQ= branches 0, 2, 7, and 2 other alpha branch codes. The data sheet looks like this: Br cd type Aggregate 0 SD-FREE 250 0 SD 100 0 SD-REW 550 0 SD-STU 100 3 SD-FREE 700 3 SD 250 3 SD-REW 500 ETC... Would it be possible to say, if somewhere in column A = 0 AND somewhere in column B = SD-FREE, return the cell just to the right of where those 2 values are true? -- darkwood ------------------------------------------------------------------------ darkwood's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=29948 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=496451 |

If you copy it down adapted to the real cell references it will return that
particular value, you could also use =AND('data'!A1=0,'data'!B1="SD-FREE") copy down will return TRUE or FALSE then you could apply autofilter and filter on TRUE another way would be to use =INDEX(C2:C200,MATCH(1,(A2:A200=0)*(B2:B200="SD-FREE"),0)) entered with ctrl + shift & enter -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom (No private emails please) "darkwood" wrote in message ... bump, I am getting desparate!

Difficult (at least to me) formula question
All I get with the index formula is #N/A and followed the formula exactly. The AND function doesn't really do me any good if I just autofilter afterwards. I can autofilter right now, but it doesn't accomplish what I need. I need to put this formula on the front page, so that it's pulling the aggregate totals from column C on the data page, over to the appropriate cell on the totals page. The formula as I entered is as follows: =INDEX(Data!C2:C122,MATCH(1,(Data!A2:A122=3)*(Data !B2:B122="SD-FREE"),0)) and used Ctrl+Shift+Enter I used A2:A122=3 b/c I wanted to look up branch 3 and SD-FREE, corresponding total in Column C. The data exists currently in cells A68 thru D68 that meets the criteria I am looking for, but the formula didn't pull over the number from Column C. -- darkwood ------------------------------------------------------------------------ darkwood's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=29948 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=496451 |
