I'm trying to find the visible sum of the QUANTITY of GOOD units that aren't DISPOSED yet. If I decide to filter any of the other columns, I want the sum to change accordingly since I'm looking for the visible sum.

Range I want to sum: QUANTITY
A2:A1000

Criteria: CONDITION & DISPOSAL DATE
B2:B1000 = "Good"
C2:C1000 = " "

Notes:
Only sum visible cells, depending on if I apply the filter.

The only functions I know that only measure visible cells are SUBTOTAL and SUMPRODUCT. I've been playing around with these functions, but I can't seem to get it. Like I tried using subtotal(9,____). In the ____, I tried to write a function that followed the criteria AND returned a range, but I was unable to find that. I'm not familiar with pivot tables or name ranges, so if it's possible, stray away from those.

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.

Try this...

=SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(9,OFFSET(A2,ROW(A2:A1000)-ROW(A2),0)),--(B2:B1000="Good"),--(C2:C1000=" "))

If you have formulas in column C that return " " (space) you should change it so that the formula returns "" (a blank) instead.

Hey don't mean to hijack the thread but could you explain how the ROW(A2-A1000)-Row(A2) works?
We have to step through the data one row at a time to get a subtotal for each visible row.

So, we offset the starting cell in the range by n rows. Where n=

ROW(A2)-Row(A2) = 0
ROW(A3)-Row(A2) = 1
ROW(A4)-Row(A2) = 2
ROW(A5)-Row(A2) = 3
ROW(A6)-Row(A2) = 5
ROW(A7)-Row(A2) = 6
etc
etc
etc

Looks like the sequence is out of sorts!

The correct sequence should be:

ROW(A2)-Row(A2) = 0
ROW(A3)-Row(A2) = 1
ROW(A4)-Row(A2) = 2
ROW(A5)-Row(A2) = 3
ROW(A6)-Row(A2) = 4
ROW(A7)-Row(A2) = 5
etc
etc
