Sumifs with or condition over multiple columns

[quiqueperez]

Hi,

I'm struggling to write a formula to sum the values in column A based on a number of conditions, including one that applies over multiple columns.

Using the following example, I would need to add the values in column A if condition 1 = Australia and the value in at least one of the areas is greater than zero.

In the current example the result woud be 55 (row3 + row4)


[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]VALUES TO ADD[/TD]
[TD]CONDITION 1[/TD]
[TD]AREA 1[/TD]
[TD]AREA 2[/TD]
[TD]AREA 3[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]56[/TD]
[TD]US[/TD]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD]0[/TD]
[TD]2[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]23[/TD]
[TD]AUSTRALIA[/TD]
[TD]0[/TD]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD]0[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]32[/TD]
[TD]AUSTRALIA[/TD]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD]2[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]14[/TD]
[TD]AUSTRALIA[/TD]
[TD]0[/TD]
[TD]0[/TD]
[TD]0[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


The formula I'm thinking of is something like this, but I don't know how to formulate it,

SUMIFS(VALUES TO ADD, CONDITION 1, AUSTRALIA, SUM(AREA 1, AREA 2, AREA 3), ">0")

Any would be very much appreciated.

Cheers,
Enrique

You can add a helper column to check if the SUM from the three areas is greater than 3 and use those values in a formula

See 2 sample formulas in H2 and I2

Excel 2010
	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I
1	VALUES TO ADD	CONDITION 1	AREA 1	AREA 2	AREA 3	AREA>0
2	56	US	1	0	2	TRUE	AUSTRALIA	55	55
3	23	AUSTRALIA	0	1	0	TRUE
4	32	AUSTRALIA	1	1	2	TRUE
5	14	AUSTRALIA	0	0	0	FALSE
Sheet1

Cell Formulas
Range	Formula
F2	=SUM(C2:E2)>0
H2	=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A5)*(B2:B5=G2)*(F2:F5))
I2	{=SUM(IF(B2:B5=G2,IF(F2:F5=TRUE,A2:A5)))}
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to enter array formulas.

if you don't want to average, you can also use just the sumformula.

f2=sum(c2:e2) and drag down.

Then you can use the formula of momentman.

you can also use a pivot talbe to get the result.

No idea why Momentman does not invoke a SUMIFS formula after creating the F range with =SUM(C2:E2)>0 as in:

=SUMIFS(A2:A5,B2:B5,"AUSTRALIA",F2:F5)

If you don't want create an additional range, try:

Control+shift+enter, not just enter:

=SUM(IF(MMULT($C$2:$E$5,TRANSPOSE(COLUMN($C$2:$E$5)^0))>0,
  IF($B$2:$B$5="AUSTRALIA",$A$2:$A$5)))

I have no idea myself Still half asleep

Thanks for that

Hi,
Many thansk for your responses.
But, would it be posible to get to the same result without adding any columns to the origianal file??
(the problem is that the original file is an standard report for another software and would be much easier if I didn't have to manipulate it)
Cheers,
Enrique

Have you tried Aladin's second suggestion from Post #4?

 

[quiqueperez]

I have just tried it again but it gives me a #VALUE! error ???

 

[Domenic]

Did you confirm the formula with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just ENTER? In other words, enter the formula in the cell, press down on the CONTROL key, and while the CONTROL key is pressed down, press down on both the SHIFT and ENTER keys. If done correctly, Excel will automatically place curly braces {...} around the formula. Does this help?

Thanks for your help!
I think that the error was that I was including in the cell ranges the column headings.
It seems to work now!
