SUMIF greater than 0 (or don't count negatives)

[Avalanchez]

Curently have

=SUMIF((EW40,FB40,DX40,ER40,DP40,DT40,DD40,DJ40,CT40,CY40,CJ40,CO40,CE40,BU40,BZ40,BI40,BO40,AX40,BD40,AN40,AS40,AD40,AI40,S40,Y40,I40,M40,E40,ED40,EI40,EN40),">0")

These are adding up dollar amounts and I dont want negatives included in the sum. I seem to only get #Value! or #Null! the few ways ive tried to do it. any suggestions? I can not write it as EW40:EN40 as there are other values same row.

=SUM(MAX(0,EW40),MAX(0,FB40),MAX(EW40,0),MAX(0,FB40),MAX(0,DX40),MAX(0,ER40),MAX(0,DP40),MAX(0,DT40),MAX(0,DD40),MAX(0,DJ40),MAX(0,CT40),MAX(0,CY40),MAX(0,CJ40),MAX(0,CO40),MAX(0,CE40),MAX(0,BU40),MAX(0,BZ40),MAX(0,BI40),MAX(0,BO40),MAX(0,AX40),MAX(0,BD40),MAX(0,AN40),MAX(0,AS40),MAX(0,AD40),MAX(0,AI40),MAX(0,S40),MAX(0,Y40),MAX(0,I40),MAX(0,M40),MAX(0,E40),MAX(0,ED40),MAX(0,EI40),MAX(0,EN40))

EDIT

Scott Huish​

maybe better as indirect() is volatile function
couple of ways

'=SUM(SUMIF(INDIRECT({"EW40","FB40","DX40","ER40","DP40","DT40","DD40","DJ40","CT40","CY40","CJ40","CO40","CE40","BU40","BZ40","BI40","BO40","AX40","BD40","AN40","AS40","AD40","AI40","S40","Y40","I40","M40","E40","ED40",""EI40"",""EN40"}),">0"))

=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT({"EW40","FB40","DX40","ER40","DP40","DT40","DD40","DJ40","CT40","CY40","CJ40","CO40","CE40","BU40","BZ40","BI40","BO40","AX40","BD40","AN40","AS40","AD40","AI40","S40","Y40","I40","M40","E40","ED40",""EI40"",""EN40"}),">0"))

OR
using choose - gets complicated and long

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

This will possibly enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

You can also test to see if it works ok, in the "Test Here" forum.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.
Please make sure you have a representative data sample and also that the data has been desensitised, remember this site is open to anyone with internet access to see - so any sensitive / personal data should be removed

Make sure you set any share or google to share to everyone

I got error with formula on both of those

maybe a limit to the number of entries , you can use, i assumed 255

=SUM(SUMIF(INDIRECT({"A3","A5","A9","A12","C21"}),">0"))

Dang those are some long formulas.... but they work thanks guys!

 

[Joe4]

Dang those are some long formulas

Well, that is a direct correlation to the many non-contiguous ranges you want to apply this logic to!

 

[etaf]

you are welcome apologies my input did not work

 

[Jeffrey Mahoney]

Please try this. I created a helper row in row 1 that has the word Yes in the columns you want to Sum (E1=Yes, I1=Yes......)

=SUMIFS(E40:FB40,E$1:FB$1,"Yes",E40:FB40,">0")

 

[Jeffrey Mahoney]

You may already have a row that suits the purpose. Are the headers in your table the same for the columns you want to sum and are they unique from the rest of the headers? If so you can use that row as your criteria instead of my suggested "Yes" row.
