I have a spreadsheet similar to the one in the screenshot.
From this I want to sum all the entries in Data 2 which have the same Data 1 ID and store it in another column. So something like this:
I am not able to figure out the formula which would do this. I figured out how to get a column with unique entries I just need to figure out how to get the sum of the values which have the same data 1 id.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
You can use SUMIF, e.g. if I'm reading your sheet right, =SUMIF(A$2:A$7, A11, B$2:B$7), and then copy down. This sums the values from B2-B7 whenever the corresponding value in A2-A7 matches A11.
You can find more on SUMIF here.
you may use subtotals function under the Data tab, although it gives you the answer in the row below all the cell matching your id; then you have to click the - and + buttons that appear on the left...you may see these in this picture of my data
this is a nice resource when you have non-English characters(á, ó, ß,...), spaces, dashes and points, so it becomes difficult to process with sql

I am trying to display the outcome scores on one Excel sheet into another Excel sheet based on the outcome name and course.
If the text in Sheet1!C2=communication and Sheet1!E2=Comm 2010, then display Sheet1!D2 on Sheet2!B3.
If the text in Sheet1!C4=information* and Sheet1!E4=Commm 3000, then display Sheet1!1D4 on Sheet2!C5.
Need to be able to use Wildcard when checking the text.
If the text in Sheet1!C6=communication and Sheet1!E6=Comm2010, but there is no number in Sheet1!D6, leave Sheet2!B5 blank
I have played around with a few different IF AND formulas, but I can't get the data displayed correctly.
Right now, I am building a pivot table from the data in Sheet1, then taking the table and formatting it to match the table on Sheet1 then using =IF(Pivot!C7="","",Pivot!C7). This works, but building a pivot table for each student and then formatting it to match Sheet1 is a time drain.
I'm really hoping there is a better way to do this.
Thank you!
Since you are compiling outcomes on a per-student basis and not in total it is safe to use the SUMPRODUCT() function:
The formula below is used in B3
=SUMPRODUCT((Sheet1!$E$2:$E$6=Sheet2!B$1)*(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$6=Sheet2!$A3)*(Sheet1!$D$2:$D$6))
and can be copied across and down throughout B3:C4
The formula used in B5 is different, because of the 'wildcard criterion'
=SUMPRODUCT((Sheet1!$E$2:$E$6=Sheet2!B$1)*(LEFT(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$6,11)="Information")*(Sheet1!$D$2:$D$6))
(unless you are using Microsoft 365, having the formula directly suppress 0 values essentially entails doubling it in length so, as an alternative, given the small output range, a custom-number format has been implemented, which effectively doesn't display 0 in a cell where that is the formula result)
Hi there,
I want to be able to fill in data in the right hand table based off values entered in the log on the left.
So for example, column GL contains data from FR13, FR40, FR60, FR94 (every 27 rows), and rather than always type in '=FR' followed by the row number I'd like to drag down a formula to return the values.
I would also like to be able to drag the formula down the column
I have tried using ROWS and INDEX but it hasn't quite worked.
Many thanks for your help
Tried using ROWS and INDEX, expecting it to select the cells I wanted, but the pattern failed.
If the data in column A is found in multiple rows, look at the data in column C for those duplicate rows. Whichever is highest value in C, return the value from the respective row but column B. In my picture, I'm trying to populate the stuff in yellow automatically, ideally with formulas in excel. Any help is greatly appreciated.
enter image description here
My first attempt was this (a formula that you may copy on cell D2):
=INDEX($A$2:$C$9,MATCH(MAX(IF($A$2:$A$9=A2,$C$2:$C$9)),$C$2:$C$9,0),2)
This is what it does: the combo INDEX-MATCH does what VLOOKUP does, but it is more efficient than VLOOKUP. Basically it commands Excel to navigate the $A$2:$C$9 range and then find the following match:
Find the row with the MAX price for the same Item (this part: MAX(IF($A$2:$A$9=A2,$C$2:$C$9)));
Then return whatever value is on column B, at that row.
Albeit this formula seemed to work, I tried something out: what if, by some unfortunate coincidence, the MAX price for two items was the same?
This is what happens when CDE888 sells for 217
Thus, one can tell the formula above is wrong and needs a fix. This is the new formula:
INDEX($A$2:$C$9,MATCH(A2&MAX(IF($A$2:$A$9=A2,$C$2:$C$9)),$A$2:$A$9&$C$2:$C$9,0),2)
This time, the formula looks for a value that is composed of the Item code AND its highest price.
The rest works exactly as the first formula.
One last word: I wrote this formula on cell D2, then dragged the formula down.
I am rather new to Power Bi and I have a question i can't find the answer to.
I want to import a table that have some label columns, with repeated items, and more than 15 data columns.
My desire result would be to group the label columns, so no repeated items, and aggregate the values of the remaining columns.
Is there a way to do that in PQ editor or DAX ?
I appreciate any help or direction you can give me!
A sample of the table (it's much bigger, with multiple values in the first three columns)
Table Sample
Thanks a lot
Edit: From that sample, the output y I want is the following
Output Sample
The thing is, there are many different values in the first columns, and i need to agreggate all the other values, keeping they column name (cause this info is already linked to other files).
Maybe the only way is to group by and add the columns, renaming them one by one?
I want to do this in a couple of files, so if you know of another way please let me know!
In your query designer import your table. Then go to Home > Group By and group like you want it, the same goes for the aggregations and thats it.
If you just want to remove row duplicates, just group all columns which you dont want to aggregate and the rest can be aggregated like you want it.
I'm trying to find a way to calculate the number of unique strings in a single column, excluding blank cells. So far I've seen solutions such as the following:
=SUM(1/COUNTIF(X2:X99;X2:X99))
Plus another similar formula using FREQUENCY instead of COUNTIF. However, applying this to my spreadsheet gives me a decimal value that has no apparent meaning. For example, if my column contains 20 cells containing "ABC", and 30 cells with "XYZ", I should have an output value of 2. However, this is not the case, and even I can clearly see that the above formula won't output anything larger than a 1, which has left me rather confused as to its usage.
Pivot tables seem to show the most promise, but I can't get that to work either. Here's what I tried:
Select the column, including the header
Select a new pivot table and use the selected range
Drag the header from Available Fields to Row Fields
Select the ignore empty rows option
Create the table
This then creates a table with one row per unique entry in the first column, and an empty second column. One row below is a Total Result cell, with the adjacent cell empty.
From this, I can see that there must be some sort of capability of the software to find unique strings, so it would stand to reason that there must also be a way of counting them and displaying that value in a cell. The question is, how do I do that?
Your first attempt should work if (a) wrapped in SUMPRODUCT and (b) the range does not contain blank cells:
=SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF(X2:X51;X2:X51))
