SUMIF & OFFSET

[Guest]

I have nested an OFFSET formula in a SUMIF formula to give the sumrange element for the SUMIF formula. If the OFFSET formula gives a range of more than one column the SUMIF still only sums the first column of the OFFSET answer not the range. Is this the default for OFFSET or is there an alternative
I have included the formula

=SUMIF(A2:E6,D11,(OFFSET(A2:A6,,1,,2))

depending on how many ranges you wish to sum, and is this going to be
static range, or dynamic?

if you are only wanting to sum the first two column (B & C) rows 1 t
6, can't you just use excels native functionality?...

=SUMIF(A2:E6,D11,B2:C6)

hope this helps

Hi Trevor,
I think the problem you are running into is with the SUMIF. It only adds the value from the first column in the sum_range. You will need to use the following formula if you want to add values from two columns:

=SUMIF(A2:E6,D11,OFFSET(A2:A6,,1,,1))+SUMIF(A2:E6,D11,OFFSET(A2:A6,,2,,1))

Good Luck,

Here's another formula which does what you need (I think)

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:E6=D11)*((B2:F6)+(C2:G6))

For any cell that has the value of D11, this will add the two values immediately to it's right

Good Luck

Thanks Guys,

All the solutions have worked but I think my real problem
is with the dynamic nature of the ranges I am trying to
include. I really need the sumrange to be the number of
columns produced by the offset formula. I would appreciate
anything else if you have it and thanks again

Hi Trevor
Your OFFSET function always produces 2 columns. Both of the solutions I provided will include the numbers from both columns in your sum. Am I missing sonething
