Philistine needs help creating loop.
Our take
Philistine is seeking assistance with creating a function in Excel that checks multiple criteria against a static reference and sums corresponding cells. Specifically, the goal is to evaluate if A2 equals "red," B2 equals "sunny," and C2 equals 20, then add the value in D2 if all conditions are met. With rows 4 and 6 meeting these criteria, the expected outcome is a total of 20. Philistine acknowledges the potential use of the SUMIFS function and is eager to learn more about its implementation.
Updated: Hey everybody - new to excel and doin' my best, but could use your help. Dumbing it down for my own sake, I need to create a function that will check multiple criteria against a static reference, then add corresponding cells together into an eventual sum.
In English: If A2 = red and B2 = sunny and C2 = 20, D2 (+ all other values that passed this same logic test). Move to check next row. Else, move to check next row.
Since two of the rows (4 and 6) pass the logic test, the expected outcome would be 20
As a function: That's where you come in... Thanks in advance.
To the people saying SUMIFS - Yup! That's probably exactly what I'm looking for, but I said I'd update this to be clearer, so I am. I'm going to look into it a bit and try to understand how to implement it, then I'll mark this solved. Thank you!

- Is there a way to Sumifs up to a certain column with multiple criteria?Hi everyone, I’m looking for a formula to sum all of the columns starting from a particular column up to a particular column. How do I best do that? On the data tab, Row 1 I have the following columns: A1 = date B1 = serial number C1 = customer name D1 = date 1, with the data being $ E1 = date 2, with the data being $ F1 = date 3, with the data being $ In a separate tab I have the same thing mirroring the data tab, but without the $, for the calculation what I intend to do is on E2, I want to say if $A2 = E$ 1, then sum all of D up to E column on the data tab provided that the value on B column of the data tab match B2 of the calc tab, and C column of the data tab match C2 of the calc tab. For F2, it would be the same thing, but sum column D up to column F instead of column E. I hope it makes sense. Thanks for your help! submitted by /u/botng [link] [comments]
- Sum of a range based on 2 different criteria?Hello, I'm working on a document which is a holiday funds to keep track of individual person's remaining balance to pay. I want to use a formula to automatically calculate the sum of a range of cells which lie against a certain year under a person's name. Below as an example: https://preview.redd.it/1p19n1o8qrxg1.png?width=991&format=png&auto=webp&s=2e67c0337da92ae1feffe43fc2c7fbaba237d672 As above, I want to look up Name 1 in 1:1, look up Year 1 in A:A and then return the sum of those numbers in that Year 1 range to give me my final result. Is this possible? I've tried all sorts of SUM, SUMIF, SUMIFS, XLOOKUP and combinations but can't seem to get it to work. I also don't want to have to manually select the cells for year SUM as this is constantly updating and want it to be automated. Thank you! submitted by /u/celestialspace [link] [comments]
- Index Match or Xlookup to return sum of row values based on matching two horizontal lookups?Ask: If E59:S59=E111 AND E60:s:60<-E112, give me the sum of E61:71,else return 0 What is the smoothest formula for this? I added in what I'm trying to do on the formula line. ChatGPT is less helpful with this than I am. I want to bundle by phase because our timesheet system doesn't allow me to pull a report by phase/task, only by person. I tried Xlookup but kept getting SPILL errors so I am at a loss. FTE1 is a different category and should not be included (PM, I can plug that as it's always in the same position). Thanks in advance for your help. https://preview.redd.it/yp4yzfn2rcxg1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=86eed1d2c8f3bb97c6d49592a0b1978d5f80f365 submitted by /u/Regular_or_BQ [link] [comments]
- How to sum a conditional formula across multiple cells?Hi, I'm looking for an elegant solution to this problem. Mostly just a curiosity because I currently do have it working, but I know there is a cleaner way to do this. Basically I am trying to sum the number values from a row of 5 cells, where the cell may or may not start with a letter (i.e., the row could be "8, 9, S6.5, 8, A6" and I want the result of 8+9+6.5+8+6=37.5). I have many rows of this, and the summed value ends up in the column to the right of the 5 values. I've managed to do this with the following formula, where the result is in cell J5: =IF(ISTEXT(E5), RIGHT(E5, LEN(E5)-1), E5) + IF(ISTEXT(F5), RIGHT(F5, LEN(F5)-1), F5) + IF(ISTEXT(G5), RIGHT(G5, LEN(G5)-1), G5) + IF(ISTEXT(H5), RIGHT(H5, LEN(H5)-1), H5) + IF(ISTEXT(I5), RIGHT(I5, LEN(I5)-1), I5) But, if I recall from years ago, there is a way to make the formula act on an array of cells using ctrl+shift+enter so the formula would essentially look like this, and do the same thing: ={SUM(IF(ISTEXT(E5:I5), RIGHT(E5:I5, LEN(E5:I5)-1), E5:I5))} Thing is, it doesn't seem to cooperate, and I have gotten pretty rusty with excel. This array formula will sum values but not if there is text in the cell. Example data: M T W Th F SUM T8 T8 9 9 5 39 9 8 8 A8 8 41 8 8 8 8 8 40 S8 9.5 8 8 6 39.5 submitted by /u/ganduvo [link] [comments]
