Hi,
I have this table ... this is a part of millions of records.

I have functions that show if STAT is 1 or 0, if type is E, if type is CA. This example shows that the same work 24188686 has one E and two CA. If I filter columns I can see either E or CA from the same work.

I would like to have some formula in the column COMBINE that would check in the first row : if type CA = 0 then check if there are CA's with the same WORKREF as E and if true return value 1.

The same approach for rows where E =0 to check if there are E's with the same WORKREF as CA and return value 1.

The idea is that then I can sum these four columns and filter column TOTAL to show all values =3.

[TABLE="width: 500, align: left"]

[TD]STAT[/TD]
[TD]TYPE[/TD]
[TD]IF STATE =1[/TD]

Hope that make sense.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!!

Thanks,

kramart, my intuition says that, whatever it is you're trying to do, there's a more efficient way. However, given the information you've provided, and assuming the upper left-hand corner of your table is in A1, copy the formula below to F2 and drag down Column F as far as you need:

=IF(F2=0,(COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,C:C,"CA")>0)+0,IF(E2=0,(COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,C:C,"E")>0)+0,0))

If your table doesn't begin at A1 and you'd like to provide the table name or the start location, I'd be happy to adapt the formula to your specific situation.

the3 way I understand this, you can do it all with 1 helper column...
=(B2=1)+(C2="e")+(C2="ca")+AND(C2="E",COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$5,A$2,$C$2:$C$5,"CA")>0)

This breaks down to...
D2=--(B2=1)
E2=--(C2="e")
F2=--(C2="ca")
G2=--AND(C2="E",COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$5,A$2,$C$2:$C$5,"CA")>0)

Not sure how you get 1 in G3 (Combine, row 2)?

Ford, the +0 is one way to turn a "TRUE" or "FALSE" into its corresponding number, 1 or 0. Other ways include adding *1 or prefacing the condition with --.

So ...

COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,C:C,"CA")>0)+0

... means "Find the number of instances where Column A contains the Work Ref from this row and Column C is 'CA.' Tell me whether it's TRUE or FALSE that this number of instances is more than 0. Then convert that logical word to a number, either 1 or 0, and put that in the cell.

Yes, I know what it does, but don't see the need for it? COUNTIFS will return a number 0 or greater, so "converting to a number" seems redundant?

Ya know, it would help if I actually read the whole formula...
,(COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,C:C,"CA")>0)+0,
apologies lol

another way...
--(COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,C:C,"CA")>0)

Hi Erik,

Many thanks for your code. It is almost what I need. This is an example where three works have the same WORKREF but there is no E.

[TABLE="class: cms_table, align: left"]

[TD]WORKREF[/TD]
[TD]STAT[/TD]
[TD]TYPE[/TD]
[TD]IF STATE =1[/TD]
[TD]IF TYPE = E[/TD]
[TD]IF TYPE = CA[/TD]
[TD]COMBINE[/TD]
[TD]TOTAL[/TD]

[TR]
[TD]24188[/TD]

There are some cases where there are few works with the same WORKREF number but they all are CA. I would like to take this into account and if there is no E in the column TYPE that would have the same WORKREF number as CA's then the formula should return 0.

Just to give you additional information.

This is just a simplified version of my table. There are more columns with diferent references and the outcomes in coulumns
[TABLE="class: cms_table, align: left"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]IF STATE =1,[/TD]
[TD]IF TYPE = E,[/TD]
[TD]IF TYPE = CA[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


are depending on other tables. I am using formulas vlookup, search etc. Below there is an example where outcomes in the last two columns are 0 because certain conditions wasn't met.
