SUMIF where range and sum_range are in every nth column

[kristian97]

Hello!
I would like to get result of 19 in B7 for sum up values where criteria is always banana (A7) but there are multiple ranges(A,E,I) and sum_ranges(C,G,K) which are in every nth column.

A B C D E F G H I J K
1 apple n/a 1 cherry n/a 1 banana n/a 10
2 banana n/a 5 lemon n/a 1 orange n/a 1
3 orange n/a 1 orange n/a 1 lemon n/a 1
4 lemon n/a 1 banana n/a 4 cherry n/a 1
5 cherry n/a 1 apple n/a 1 apple n/a 1
6
7 banana 19

Thank you for any help.

Welcome to the MrExcel Board.

Here are a couple options:

Book1
	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K
1	apple	n/a	1		cherry	n/a	1		banana	n/a	10
2	banana	n/a	5		lemon	n/a	1		orange	n/a	1
3	orange	n/a	1		orange	n/a	1		lemon	n/a	1
4	lemon	n/a	1		banana	n/a	4		cherry	n/a	1
5	cherry	n/a	1		apple	n/a	1		apple	n/a	1
6
7
8
9	banana	19
10		19
Sheet2

Cell Formulas
Range	Formula
B9	=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:I5=A9),C1:K5)
B10	=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(OFFSET(A1:A5,0,{0,4,8}),A9,OFFSET(C1:C5,0,{0,4,8})))

Either one works, but depending on other factors, such as table size, one might be preferable over the other.

For just 3 ranges, I would do this:

=SUMIF(A:A,"Banana",C:C)+SUMIF(E:E,"Banana",G:G)+SUMIF(I:I,"Banana",K:K)

 

[Tetra201]

For this particular case, the formula is rather simple:

=SUMIF(A:I,A7,C:K)

Thank you very much for the solution.
The first formula works better because column count is actually much higher than in my question.

Glad we could help!

A few thoughts though. First, my first formula, and Tetra's formula, both have an issue that if "banana" occurs in another column (B,C,D,F,G,H, etc.) you could get erroneous results. If that's an issue, my second formula only looks at the specific columns you want (A, E, I, etc.). Adding more columns is just a matter of updating the offsets in the array variables {0,4,8}, or we could update the formula like this:

=SUM(SUMIF(OFFSET(A:A,0,(ROW(A1:A3)-1)*4),A9,OFFSET(C:C,0,(ROW(A1:A3)-1)*4)))

and confirm it with Control+Shift+Enter. Then you just need to change the red 3s to the number of columns you want to look at.

And second, if "banana" in the other columns isn't an issue, then I suspect Tetra's formula would be more efficient on large tables, although I haven't timed it. If your spreadsheet starts to lag, you might want to try that one.
