Sum totals based on product name

[Jana]

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
??

 

[Jana]

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?

 

[Bob Phillips]

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

 

[Bob Phillips]

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.

Pete

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?

 

[Jana]

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!!!

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)

 

[T. Valko]

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)

 

[judy]

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!

i managed to fix the error for below

thanks for your 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

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

Geezzzz! I left out the most important word.
