Question

I'm stuck on an Excel problem and am hoping someone can assist. I read through 10-15 topics that are similar, but I wasn't able to get anything to work. Here is where I'm at...

I have a large data set containing columns for Year, Name, Total 1, Total 2 (and 20+ other columns). The same names appear in multiple rows based on the yearly totals. On a separate sheet, I have another data set containing Name and would like to pull the data from sheet one into columns as shown below.

enter image description here

I have done this in the past using only one year as the initial data set with the following formula:

=INDEX(DATARANGE,MATCH([@Name],DATARANGE[Name],0),MATCH("Total 1",DATARANGE[#Headers],0))

The problem I am having is the result of adding multiple years of data to my 1st data set. Is there a way to match the row based on name and year and then return the results of the appropriate column?

Was it helpful?

Solution 2

Change the first MATCH function to something like this:

=MATCH(1,INDEX(([@Name]=DATARANGE[Name])*([@Year]=DATARANGE[Year]),0),0)

so as part of your whole formula that would be this

=INDEX(DATARANGE,MATCH(1,INDEX(([@Name]=DATARANGE[Name])*([@Year]=DATARANGE[Year]),0),0) ,MATCH("Total 1",DATARANGE[#Headers],0))

Another way you can use for returning numbers only (as here) is like this: (with cell refs for simplicity).

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A9=2013)*(B2:B9="name x")*(C1:D1="Total 1"),C2:D9)

OTHER TIPS

=SUM(($A$2:$A$9=B$16)*($B$2:$B$9=$A17)*($C$2:$C$9))

Enter above in cell B14 as an array formula or below as standard

=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$9=B$16)*($B$2:$B$9=$A17)*($C$2:$C$9))

You can do the same for total 2 just replace Cs with Ds

And then drag right and down.

If the presented data to be indexed is a table then

This

=MATCH(1,INDEX(([@Name]=DATARANGE[Name])*([@Year]=DATARANGE[Year]),0),0)

should be corrected to a proper structured reference of

@[Name]

Also since this is an array formula it may not work with structured references at all. You'd be better served with regular cell references. Also if it is not a table only cell references will work.
