Summing data based on certain cells
I have a spreadsheet that has data for each month. At the bottom of each
month is a summary of the data in four categories. What I need to do is for the data to be summed automatically, based on the four categories when I insert it for month X. I am currently using =SUMIF(INDEX($H:$H,N93):INDEX($H:$H,O93),N94,INDEX ($M:$M,N93):INDEX($M:$M,O93))+SUMIF(INDEX($H:$H,N9 3):INDEX($H:$H,O93),N94,INDEX($N:$N,N93):INDEX($N: $N,O93)) Whe Column H is where the category definition is for each line item N93 is the cell that tells the formula what the starting row is O93 is the cell that tells the formula what the ending row is N94 is the Category that is being summed in column H Column M and N is where the numbers are that are being summed. I have since migrated to Excel 2007 so the SUMIFS command is available now. My question is - is there a more elegant way of doing this? Also, I currently have to physically input the row number into N93 and O93. The problem is that if I insert data into a prior month, it obviously changes all the start and end rows for the months below and I have to fix them manually. Is there a way to fix the start and end rows absolutely so that if I do insert data in a prior month the reference in N93 and O93 will automatically update? |

Summing data based on certain cells
It sounds like you have another column containing dates? I'll assume it's
column A, and N93 and O93 now contain dates (month boundaries). =SUMIFS($A:$A,"="&N93,$A:$A,"="&O93,$H:$H,N94,$M :$N) Note: I don't have 2007, but I believe this is the correct syntax. Please refer to the help file for guidance if my syntax is in error.

Summing data based on certain cells
Thanks Luke
Your first formula doesnt work and I havent worked out why yet. Also, I do have a date field but I am not using it as I split the data into blocks per month. However now that you mention it, it would be awesome if I could use the date field as well so I dont have to stuff around sorting the date into months. The date field would then be used to sum the below for all dates falling in Month A, B, C etc Regards Murray "Luke M" wrote: It sounds like you have another column containing dates?

Summing data based on certain cells
Hi,
Most likely you are not using Excel 2007, therefore the formula should be =SUMPRODUCT(--($A:$A=N93),--($A:$A=O93),--($H:$H=N94),$M:$N) -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Summing data based on certain cells
In XL07 you can use entire rows in Sumproduct formulas, but you really
shouldn't since it does use a lot of resources. Say your date field is Column G, using *true* XL dates. No sorting is necessary. Enter start date in N93, and end date in O93. Enter Category in N94. Try this: =SUMPRODUCT((G2:G90=N93)*(G2:G90=O93)*(H2:H90=N9 4)*M2:N90) -- HTH, RD ================================================== === Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ================================================== === "MurrayBarn" wrote in message ...
