I have a large table that I am sure I can clean up in many regards, but currently I am trying to simplify the above into one formula.

The one I am currently using is;
=SUMIFS(November!$L$19:$L$2013,November!$D$19:$D$2013,"NWO")+SUMIFS(November!$L$19:$L$2013,November!$E$19:$E$2013,"NWO")

Its on a separate page on a different chart, I plot this data monthly so this is an example for November. This formula works great with one exception, When both columns are populated with "NWO" is doubles that value, so the above example shoudl total 300, but excel shows it as 400.

How can I eliminate the double count? Or how can I write a formula that sums the sales column, if either salesperson or responsible salesperson contains NWO. (Very rarely will the data contain the same value, but I don't want to have to go back and sort line by line each month)

I know there is a cleaner solution, I just can't find it! Thanks in advanced.
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
try this out

=SUMIFS(November!$L$19:$L$2013,OR(November!$D$19:$D$2013,November!$E$19:$E$2013),"NWO")

sorry my bad, wrong answer on my end

you might have to place a helper column for this situation and just hide it

so maybe after your sell price column M try this

=OR(November!$D$19:$D$2013="NWO",November!$E$19:$E$2013="NWO")

then in your cell wher eyou had the sumifs.... do a sumif

=SUMIF(M:M,"TRUE",L:L)

Try...

=SUMPRODUCT(November!$L$19:$L$2013,(November!$D$19:$D$2013="NWO")+(November!$E$19:$E$2013="NWO"))


Note that when D and E both are NWO, L will be doubled for that record.

I could, but I have multiple salesmen that I am tracking, so this is just an example of one person, so I'd have to write multiple "helper" columns. there has to be a way to do this, I was thinking the answer might be in a SUMPRODUCT formula, but I am not certain, that's why I am here asking. I'd love a SUMIFS/OR but not BOTH formula...

Control+shift+enter, not just enter:

=SUM(IF((November!$D$19:$D$2013="NWO")+(November!$E$19:$E$2013="NWO"),November!$L$19:$L$2013))

=SUM(IF((November!$D$19:$D$2013="NWO")+(November!$E$19:$E$2013="NWO"),November!$L$19:$L$2013))


Please explain?

It Definitely works, I'm just wondering why. Thank you for the help

IF((November!$D$19:$D$2013="NWO")+(November!$E$19:$E$2013="NWO"),November!$L$19:$L$2013)

summarizes...

IF((November!$D19="NWO")+(November!$E19="NWO"),November!$L19)
IF((November!$D20="NWO")+(November!$E20="NWO"),November!$L20)


TRANSLATION:
When D19="NWO" and E19="NWO" >> TRUE + TRUE >> 2, outer IF yields L19 for 2, that is, non-zero, means TRUE >> L19
When D19="NWO" and E19="NWO" >> TRUE + FALSE >> 1, outer IF yields L19 for 1, that is, non-zero, means TRUE >> L19
When D19="NWO" and E19="NWO" >> FALSE + FALSE >> 0, outer IF yields L19 for 0, that is, zero, means FALSE >> FALSE


Outer SUM sums L numbers which IF deliver.


Hope this helps.
