How do I reference certain rows within array formulae?

[Guest]

Within the attached array formula, I need to either perform a lookup, or use
the data I have per iteration, to count for various values in column B.
However, as I understand, VLOOKUP requires a single value or reference as the
lookup_value. I have tried using the INDEX function (see below), but it
appears to only pick up row 1 for each iteration, hence not matching with any
valid lookup values.

How do I, inside an array calculation, specify the row which has been found
to match the preceding IF statements?

Effectively, I wish to perform a lookup on another workbook, using column C
and the row which has been found to match the two preceding IF statements.

=SUM(IF($A$1:$A$2000="OMS",IF($B$1:$B$2000="",IF(VLOOKUP(INDEX($A$1:$C$2000,ROW($1:$2000),3),'[Lookupfile.xls]Name'!$A$1:$B$2000,2,FALSE)=$B9,1,0),IF($B9=$B$1:$B$2000,1,0)),0))

regards,
Pete.

You have conflicting conditions:

IF($B$1:$B$2000=""
IF($B9=$B$1:$B$2000

Unless B9 is empty, in which case those expressions would be redundant,
those expressions can't be TRUE at the same time.

The VLOOKUP/INDEX can be expressed in a SUMPRODUCT function as:

--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(C1:C2000,'[Lookupfile.xls]Name'!$A$1:$A$2000,0))),
--('[Lookupfile.xls]Name'!$B$1:$B$2000=$B9)

But, you have to straighten out those IF(B1....... things!

Hi, Biff.

Thanks for your assistance - Regarding the "redundancy" - the second IF was
the ELSE of the first - If the column B is not null, then add all occurrences
of column B instead of applying a lookup.

I have taken your advice, and "played" almost all day - herewith what I have
now - but this is still not giving me what I expect - the numbers make no
sense at all, as I am expecting 48 as a total, and only get 8 (7 and 1 for
each of the SumProduct functions below).

Logic Explanation
When column B (Queue) of the Defects file is null, I need to use its column
C (Queue Owner) to lookup a value in the QueueOwnerList file, and then only
those Queues from that file that are equal to the value in my current sheet's
B12. If column B of the Defects file is not null, simply add to the count
those queues that are equal to B12 (PS. this second SumProduct works 100%).

=SUMPRODUCT(--('[Defects 20070604.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1:$A$2000="OMS"),
--('[Defects 20070604.xls]Sheet1'!$B$1:$B$2000=""),
--(ISNUMBER(MATCH('[Defects
20070604.xls]Sheet1'!$C$1:$C$2000,'[QueueOwnerList.xls]lookup
names'!$A$1:$A$2000,0))),
--('[QueueOwnerList.xls]lookup names'!$B$1:$B$2000=$B12))+
SUMPRODUCT(--('[Defects 20070604.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1:$A$2000="OMS"),
--('[Defects 20070604.xls]Sheet1'!$B$1:$B$2000=$B12))

Am I misunderstanding something or doing something totally stupid?

Kind regards,
Pete.

Define: null

Empty cell? Numeric 0? Blank cell (as in a formula blank "")?

For ease of reading let's leave out all the file names/sheet names.

Try logic like this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A10="oms"),--(B1:B10=B12))+
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A10="oms"),--(B1:B10=""),--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(C1:C10,H1:H10,0))),--(I1:I10=B12))

Where:

C1:C10 = the range you used in your VLOOKUP
H1:I10 = the lookup_table

I'm having a similar problem. I have 2 tables. One tables is of products
and options. The data of this table are the part #s for the product with
that option. The second table is of part #s and their prices. I'm trying to
SUM all VLOOKUPs of all products for a particular option. In the example
below, I can't seem to get the TOTAL line working in the first table. My
current formula for the total of Option1 column is:
=SUM(VLOOKUP(B2:B5,$A$9:$B$21,2,FALSE))

==VIEW THIS IN FIXED TEXT==

For example:
Product Option1 Option2
A 1 2
B 3 4

4 $20
5 $25
6 $30

Thank you very much! You're awesome!

One thing to note however, it won't handle duplicate parts in the same column.

Do you mean like this:

Notice how the formula uses a range that is 1 cell longer than the range for
the price. As long as this "extra" cell does not contain an error value
(#NUM!, #N/A, #VALUE!, etc) there is no problem.
