Hi there - I'm trying to sum all of the data in column D that have either a yes in the primary or secondary category, but only include the first instance of that value. In the example below, the sum would be 3 (1 for A, 2 for B). Please help!! :)
[TABLE="width: 500"]

Welcome to Mr Excel forum

What is the expected result for a scenario like this (observe that only the second A meet the condition)?

[Table="class: grid"][tr][td="bgcolor: #DCE6F1"][/td][td="bgcolor: #DCE6F1"]
A​
[/td][td="bgcolor: #DCE6F1"]
B​
[/td][td="bgcolor: #DCE6F1"]
C​
[/td][td="bgcolor: #DCE6F1"]
D​
[/td][/tr]

A​

no​
[/td][td]
yes​
[/td][td]
5​

[tr][td="bgcolor: #DCE6F1"]
5​
[/td][td]
C​
[/td][td]
no​
[/td][td]
no​
[/td][td]
3​
[/td][/tr]
[/table]

It would be 7 (2 for B and 5 for A)?

The expected result would be 7, because row 3 meets the condition (has a yes), row 4 meets the condition (is the first A to have a yes).

The easiest way would be to add a helper column, like this:

ABCDEFG

<colgroup><col style="width: 25pxpx"><col><col><col><col><col><col><col></colgroup><thead>

The formula in E2 figures out if the area on that row is the first instance of the area with a "yes". Then the very simple formula in F2 gives you the sum.

It is possible to create a single-cell formula to get that sum, for example, look at the G2 array formula. It's pretty complicated, but maybe someone else can improve on it.

The code that ended up working for this was:
<code style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, "Lucida Console", "Liberation Mono", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", "Courier New", monospace, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: inherit; white-space: inherit;">=SUMPRODUCT(((($B$2:$B$5="yes")+($C$2:$C$5="yes"))*$D$2:$D$5)/((COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$5,$A$2:$A$5,$B$2:$B$5,"yes")+COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$5,$A$2:$A$5,$C$2:$C$5,"yes"))+(($B$2:$B$5="no")*($C$2:$C$5="no"))))</code>

Array formula in F2
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IFERROR(MATCH(A2:A5,IF((B2:B5="yes")+(C2:C5="yes"),A2:A5),0),FALSE),ROW(A2:A5)-ROW(A2)+1),D2:D5))
confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, not just Enter
