Sum totals based on product name

Jana - 17 Oct 2006 20:24 GMT
I have a large worksheet that has a product name and then in the next cell a
sum, how do I sum only those equal to a specific product name. I have a list
of the products at the bottom of my spreadsheet where I want to put this sum.
The worksheet is an export of data from a datase which brings over blank
lines and rows that don't have data in them. ex below:
D06D548D    VOIP34  Support Rating and Processing of Data Usage   
11/03/2007    A Due:    CS:5/1/07    QS:8/7/07    CCS                            Batch     500    635
    Total Estimate Percentage     127%Total Hours    500    635
D06D548I    Expansion of Event Master, UDF and CTD Monetary
Fields        11/03/2007    A Due:    CS:5/1/07    QS:8/7/07    CCS                        Online     446    566
                    UDF     75    95
                    Batch     594    754
                    CTUPDATE 112   
              Total Estimate Percentage 127%Total Hours                
1,227      1,558
I would like to have some kind of an IF statement I think that says if
A1="Batch" then Sum all hours (keep in mind, major novice here and not sure I
am even giving the right terms). Right now, I have to Ctrl click every cell
that is for a specific product. I wind up having to sum several cells and
then a sum of those groupings because of excel's limit on the number of cells
that can be included in a formula.

=SUMIF(A:A,A1,B:B)
A1= Batch

Oh my Gosh!!!! Thanks So much, I think this is going to work. I did it on a
test worksheet and appears to work perfectly. Now going to apply to the
monster spreadsheet. HUGE Thanks!

It's not working in my large spread sheet.
Product Name is in Column F
Product Total is in Column G
The Summary Table I also have the product in Column F with the Total Sum of
that product then in G Should the formula read as follows:
=SUMIF(F:F,F327,G:G)
G327=Batch
??

Here is my actual forumula: =SUMIF(F1:F334,"Batch",G1:G334), but it's
returning a number, just not the right one, do I have to do something special
to account for the blank lines?

That should be okay.

Start by reducing the range, and checking, to say

=SUMIF(F1:F167,"Batch"mG1:G167)

If okay, increase by a half, if not, decrease by a half. When it goes wrong
check that range of data.

Did that on a seperate spreadsheet and even took out blank lines, only had 10
rows, didn't bring back the right value...ugh

List out the 10 rows then and tell us what you get and what you expect.

Jana,

Some of your entries may include leading or trailing spaces - try this
variation to see if the value increases:

=SUMIF(F1:F334,"Batch*",G1:G334)

Sumif can accept wildcards, which is what the asterisk is for, so if
this improves the situation you might like to make it "*Batch*",
although you need to be wary of the other values that could appear in
column F.

Hope this helps.

It worked on a smaller scale of the worksheet with 50 rows, but not on the
master that has over 288 rows. Is it because of excel's limits on how many
cells can be included in a calc?

That did the trick. I wasn't able to copy the formula down and then go in and
change the "names*", but if I cleared all and then typed in each one
individually it worked, very strange, but it is working and I am so gratefull
for this discussion group. I will be back! Thanks again for everyone's
help!!!!

Hello!
I was able to use wildcards in SUMIF formulas but it just don't work in
SUM+IF statement. Is the wildcard feature not available in SUM+IF statement
or there's something wrong with my formula?

=SUMIF($E$2:$E$300, "Local*", $F$2:$F$300)
This will help me sum up the F column if column E contains Local 1, Local 2,
Local 3 etc

The formula I'm trying to create now is as follow
=SUM(IF(($E$24:$E$43="Local*")*($G$24:$G$43="Actual"),$H$24:$H$43))
However, the formula is not looking at Local 1, Local 2, Local 3 of column
E. It doesnt seem to recognise this feature.

Can any of you help advise me on above? Thanks soo much!!!
T. Valko - 27 May 2008 03:58 GMT
>Is the wildcard feature not available in SUM+IF

No, it can't be used directly in those functions.

Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Local",$E$24:$E$43))),--($G$24:$G$43="Actual"),$H$24:$H$43)

Hi Biff

Is there a way this formula can further cater to below?

For example
I have local Sg, local CN, local CZ, local MY fields and i'm trying to
achieve below:

SUM all for local SG compared to SUM all for the rest of the regions,
excluding SG.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Local",$E$24:$E$43))),--($G$24:$G$43="Actual"),$H$24:$H$43)

For "Local SG" :

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Local
SG",$E$24:$E$43))),--($G$24:$G$43="Actual"),$H$24:$H$43)

For all others:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISERROR(SEARCH("Local
SG",$E$24:$E$43))),--($G$24:$G$43="Actual"),$H$24:$H$43)

Sorry for not being concise in my earlier email

For example, i have Local SG, Local CN ... and another category that reads
Sub 1, Sub 2, Sub 3

The earlier ISNUMBER has helped me to calculate the Local SG and all the Sub
categories numbers.

However, the ISERROR formula is calculating all the fields by just excluding
Local SG. I'm trying to get the formula where it excludes Local SG & all the
Sub categories by using below

=(SUMPRODUCT(--(ISERROR(SEARCH("Local
SG",$F$24:$F$43))),--($G$24:$G$43="Plan"),$H$24:$H$43))-(SUMPRODUCT(--(ISERROR(SEARCH("Sub*",$F$24:$F$43))),--($G$24:$G$43="Plan"),$H$24:$H$43))

But the number is returning a negative value where it should be positive.
Any idea?

thanks a million for ur help!

Hi Biff
I'm encountering another issue.
the formula is working for the Product A.
when i applied the formula to Product B, the values show as 0 (though the
details have a value tied to it)

I tried to re-calculate the formula by doing a Ctrl-ALT-F9 but it's still
showing as 0 values. Any idea why this is happening?

                 Product A, Product B
Local SG      25, 0
Local Others 7, 0
Sub             8,0

Geezzzz! I left out the most important word.

Can you post a small sample of your data so I can see what you're trying to
do?

Biff, i re-do the format in a new worksheet n the formula is working

i need your advice on below
Is there a formula to calculate below?

For example, we are currently in the month of May,
                 Actual consultants utilized (past months)    vs        No.
of consultants utilized (Plan) -- forward month  
Region A         Jan - April data                                            
                    May - Dec data
Region B         Jan - April data                                            
                     May - Dec data
Region C         Jan - April data                                            
                      May - Dec data
When we reach the month of June, the formula will be to detect the date and
make a auto-calculation?

A calculation of what?

I'm not following you on this.
