Single statement database/range processing with criteria
Although Excel provides Database processing (DSUM etc) it does so with
"external" criteria - "external" meaning that they are defined in cells outside the Database function. I have seen posts that process ranges with really complex criteria defined in a single statement. Having all search conditions within the cell statement is preferable as far as I am concerned as it results in less messy spreadsheets. Can anyone provide links to articles describing ways to process ranges/databases with criteria such as the following in a single statement? Capitalized words represent Fieldnames (column headings). - find in PRICES_DATABASE the PRICE where ITEM = Search_Item and Search_Date is = to PRICE_VALID_FROM and <= to PRICE_VALID_TO - sum all AMOUNT in TRANSACTIONS_DATABASE where YEAR = 2006 and TRNS_TYPE = "Sales" Thanks in advance |
