Return an amount with a criteria

[Marwan69]

Hello everyone and please pay a smile when you work this because it's a pain...

I have a table and I'd like to return an amount based on criteria. Let me explain below:

Financial Figures (SR'000)	Salama	Yearly Change(%)
Cash & Cash Equivalents
2013
Insurance Operations(Takaful Operations)
Cash on hand and at banks	36,465	-35.35%
Term deposits - (<= 3 mos)	0
Term deposits - (>3<12 mos)	10,576	190.65%
Shareholders' Operations
Cash on hand and at banks	33	16639.39%
Term deposits - (<= 3 mos)	0
Term deposits - (>3<12 mos)	0
2014
Insurance Operations(Takaful Operations)
Cash on hand and at banks	23,573	-88.58%
Term deposits - (<= 3 mos)	0
Term deposits - (>3<12 mos)	30,739	-64.34%
Shareholders' Operations:
Cash on hand and at banks	5,524	-99.86%
Term deposits - (<= 3 mos)	0

<tbody>
</tbody>

I'd like the formula to return -35.35% under (Yearly change%) column but based on the following criteria:
I want the formula to read this criteriaInsurance Operations(Takaful Operations)) and this criteria: (Cash on hand and at banks) and therefore return to me the (Yearly change%). Hope is clear.

Why is that? Because I have two operations: (Insurance operations(Takaful Operations) and (Shareholders' Operations). I want first to return the yearly change% pertaining to insurance operations and then jump to shareholders' operations.

I wish this didn't cause pain to you guys!!!Many thanks,
Marwan

can you provide us with the numbers that returned 35.35%, because your criteria appears on a number of lines ???

 

[Marwan69]

Yes of course and thanks for replying bro.

- 35.35% is a product of dividing Cash on hand and at banks of 23,573/36,465-1

Many thanks,
Marwan

You seem to have answered your own question....why don't you simply do what you have described ??

Hello Michael M.

I didn't get that and I still can't see how this can be done. I'll explain again in a simple way hopefully and I know this is quite confusing.
I have two portfolios, right? one is called:Insurance Operations(Takaful Operations), and the other one called: Shareholders' Operations. I want the formula when it runs reads two criterias: The insurance Operations(Takaful Operations) and Cash on hand and at banks, and returns to me the amount(Percentage) which is -35.35%. So that when I drag the formula down the table it only reads the criterea that I specified, and it will not pick the shareholders' Operations.

Hope is clear.

Many thanks,
Marwan

 

[Michael M]

you can't drag a formula down the column and skip certain rows....unless you apply it with VBA !

 

[Marwan69]

Thanks Michael M. I mean when I apply the formula it should read only the defined criterea.

Many thanks,
Marwan

Hi Marwan,

So when you get your report, each years data is the same number of rows and layout?

 

[Marwan69]

Hi RasGhul.

Let me illustrate:

let's say there's a formula. Say the formula reads as follows (I know it's not true but this was my trial):

=IFERROR(INDEX(I6:I49,MATCH("Cash on hand and at banks",$G$6:$G$49,0)),"")

Where: I6:I49 (Reads the Yearly Change%)
$G$6:$G$49(Reads A4:A...)
and "Cash on hand and at banks": Picks only this text and return the value in the (Yearly Change%).

But again I want also another criterea besides "Cash on hand and at banks" which is: Insurance Operations(Takaful Operations). Why? Because we've got the (Shareholders' Operations) which is not of my interest to pickup its value at this stage.

Guys if this is going to cause you any pain please ignore it and thanks a lot for showing the eager to help, which is the most important thing between us here in just working out a simple formula.

Many thanks,
Marwan

Not sure if this is what you need and assumes that the Cash on hand row ALWAYS follows the "Takaful" or "Shareholders" rows;

Drag down the D1 formula as helper for index & match;

Not the most efficient solution sorry.
