Array Formula Referencing a string??

[dariushou]

Hi there,

I'm having a problem with the below array. The column heading in cells E7:H7 Never change and i would like to sum up the appropriate data below those headings according to the what is in cell D4. The formula in cell A9 works but only if the string is exactly the same as what is listed in cell D4. Is there a way to reference cell D4 like i have in cell B9. I'm looking to get the formula in B9 to work, but i'm missing something.

This thing is killing me.

I tried this but it didn't work. Thought substitute would of worked.
formula was entered by cse

SUM(IF($E$7:$H$7=SUBSTITUTE(D4,,),$E9:$H9))

 

[dariushou]

any ideas?

 

[Domenic]

First define the following...

Insert > Name > Define

Name:  Array

Refers to:

=EVALUATE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(UPPER(Sheet1!$D$4),"FCL","""FCL"""),"CURRENT","""CURRENT"""))

Click Ok

Then try...

B9, copied down:

=SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(MATCH($E$7:$H$7,Array,0)),E9:H9)

Hope this helps!

 

[Jinspet]

try this in B9
make sure you press the "Ctrl + Alt + Enter" to complete the formula

{=SUMPRODUCT(IF(ISERR(SEARCH(e7:h7,d4)),0,1),e9:h9)}

 

[Jinspet]

It should be "Ctrl + Shift + Enter " ,not "Alt",my mistake

 

[mikerickson]

Since your formula works if there is an exact match, you could put list validation on D4, so any entry came from $E$7:$H$7

i'm sorry ,but i didn't understand your meaning bcuz i'm not good in english . I have a question for u, i'll very appreciate it if u explain it as plain as u can .

why the function Find(e7:h7,d4) can't return a array,but SEARCH(e7:h7,d4) did ? i'm very confused about this.

{=SUMPRODUCT(IF(ISERR(SEARCH(e7:h7,d4)),0,1),e9:h9)}

Here's a variation on the above formula...

B9, confirmed with just ENTER, and copied down:

=SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH($E$7:$H$7,$D$4)),E9:H9)

Note, however, in the unlikely event that E7:H7 contains values such as 6 and 9, or D4 contains text such as 600 and 900, the formula will return an incorrect result.

Actually, FIND can indeed return an array. The difference between FIND and SEARCH, though, is that the former is case-sensitive, whereas the latter is not.

Hope this helps!

I want to thank you two. This was exactly what i was looking for. Now i don't have to embed 7+ if statements.
