Hi

=SUMPRODUCT((Data1!$B$1:$B$500="March")*(Data1!$C$1:$C$500="New York"),
(Data1!$E$1:$E$500))

In plain english the formula above means: Sum cells E1 to E500 (last
argument) if in B1 to B500 the value is "March" and if in C1 to C500
the value is "New York".

SUMPRODUCT is like SUMIF on steroids and it allows you to automate all
these reports that you develop with data that you import from a large
centralized database, centralized accounting, manufacturing and sales
programs or the Internet.

The last argument (preceded by a comma) tells Excel what to sum and
the two previous arguments (separated by an asterisk) tell Excel about
the conditions for summing.

You can do this with SUMPRODUCT and much more.

Within a table where months are in column "A" and cities in row "11"
the formula would read like this

=SUMPRODUCT((Data1!$B$1:$B$500=$A13)*(Data1!$C$1:$C$500=B$11),(Data1!$E
$1:$E$500))

Hi, Bob

It is not new to you, me and only 5% of Excel users.

If more users knew about SUMPRODUCT Excel would be the top reporting
application on the market and users would not have to wait for IT guys
to develop their report.

In your example you are using an asterisk before the last argument. If
the first cell of your dataset is a title or if a cell in your range
contains text you will get an error message (#Value). By using a comma
you correct this problem.

So it is not because YOU know about something that others do. Share
your old tips you will help a lot of people.

That may be so, but those that need such functionality come to these NGs and
other forums and they get a response, usually suggesting SP. There are
MILLIONS of SP answers out there, so it seems those that need to know either
know or know how to find out.

the first cell of your dataset is a title or if a cell in your range
contains text you will get an error message (#Value). By using a comma

As I have many examples, I have no idea what you are referring to, but I am
sure you are taking it out of context. Sometimes it is correct to use -- and
comma, sometimes you have to use *, it all depends upon the context.

So it is not because YOU know about something that others do. Share
your old tips you will help a lot of people.

That is exactly what that page and the archives do.
