using logical functions as criteria with the SUMIF function
I have a datatable with a number of columns and I want to add all the numbers
in column "S" when the text in column "M begin with an "A". I also want to use the same function for all the numbers in Cloumns "T", "U", "V", etc. I have tried =SUMIF($M$3:$M$100,LEFT($M3,1)="A",S3:S100) and all I get is "0". Any suggestions? |
try
=sumproduct((left(m3:m100,1)="A")*s3:s100) =sumproduct((left(m3:m100,1)="A")*s3:v100) -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "pfdubz" wrote in message ...

Hi
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(M3:M300)="A"),S3:S300) The formula above sums all rows with entriea im column M starting with either "a" or "A". A case sensitive variant of same formula is =SUMPRODUCT(--(EXACT(LEFT(D1:D5),"A")),C1:C5) Arvi Laanemets "pfdubz" wrote in message ...

I am not trying to multiply column M and column S. I am trying to add all
the numbers in column S that correspond with text in column M that begins with the letter "A" "Don Guillett" wrote: try =sumproduct((left(m3:m100,1)="A")*s3:s100) =sumproduct((left(m3:m100,1)="A")*s3:v100) -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "pfdubz" wrote in message ...

Hi
and this is just what this formula does. Just try it.

Thanks for the reference Frank. It is most illuminating and it works!
