Conditional sum based on values in one or more columns

M

Mario

I am trying to add the values in col. n if their
corresponding values in col A are not blank.

The following formula is not working, please help.


=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A252<>""),(N2:N252))


Also how will that formula change if I want to sum the
values in N2:N252 if
1. its corresponding values in col a is not blank
2. if the differecence between the corresponding values
in col. D and col E is less than 10.

Please help.

For the first part, either use

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A252<>""),(N2:N252))

or

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A252<>"")*(N2:N252))

To sum if the corresponding values in A *are* blank just change the <> to an =


For the second:-

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A252<>"")*(ABS((D2:D252)-(E2:E252))<10)*(N2:N252))

=SUMPRODUCT((Reaches_P11!A2:A252<>"")*(ABS(Reaches_P11!
N2:N252)))/5280

I tried the above formula and it gives #VALUE error.
Please help.

Thanks

Do you by any chance have any text entries in the N2:N252 range - That will kill
it and give you the #VALUE error.

Actually I did try to format the cells to number and I am
using function "ABS" to type cast it., still giving me
errror

Are you able to mail me a copy of the workbook in question? Please be aware
though that in my Day-Job I work for a company called Lockheed Martin, so just
be sure there is nothing I shouldn't be seeing by virtue of that. You would
need to take the nospam bit out of my email address.

Try this instead

=SUMPRODUCT((Reaches_P11!A2:A252<>"")*(ISNUMBER(Reaches_P11!N2:N252)))/5280

Hi Bob - Won't that just give a count of the values (Then Divided by 5280) as
opposed to summing them?

Ken,

You are right, I was just responding to a later post not the original where
the OP had a problem.It's easily resolved though

=SUMPRODUCT((Reaches_P11!A2:A252<>"")*(ISNUMBER(Reaches_P11!N2:N252)),(Reach
es_P11!N2:N252))/5280

LOL - You're going to kick yourself over this one (Had me confused for a while
though!!!).

Take a look at each of your formulas that contain a reference to Col O. they
all look like this

=SUMPRODUCT(....*(ABS(Reaches_P11!N2:N254-Reaches_P11!O2-O254)>10))

You screwed up the range reference and have put a '-' in instead of a ':'

Should be as follows:-

=SUMPRODUCT(.....*(ABS(Reaches_P11!N2:N254-Reaches_P11!O2-O254)>10)) NO!!!!!
=SUMPRODUCT(.....*(ABS(Reaches_P11!N2:N254-Reaches_P11!O2:O254)>10)) YES!!
.................................................................................

LOL - See my last post - Had me scratching my head going "What the hell?????"
Reference looked OK at first glance - aaaaaagghhhh!!! :)

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the very valuable help.

I did pull out quite a few hair of mine, trying to
figure out what I did wrong.

One final question., what will that formula look like if
I want to say:

count of rows with col. n = 0 or col n =null or col o = 0
or col o = null and col a is not null and col b is not
null.

thanks a million for your help.

Try this (I haven't tested the answer to see if it give the right number, so you
need to do that)

=SUMPRODUCT((((Reaches_P11!N2:N254=0)+(Reaches_P11!O2:O254=0))>0)*(Reaches_P11!A
2:A254<>"")*(Reaches_P11!B2:B254<>""))

An empty (null) cell equates to 0 so should be picked up by the =0 argument.
