I'm not sure how to post this work easily through the thread, but here's a link to my work
http://s1015.photobucket.com/albums/...urrent=A-1.jpg

if you can view it it will be much easier to help me.

To start, I have named ranges on the worksheet:

A2:A31208 = DateRange
B2:B31208 = Pitcher
C2:C31208 = Batter
D2:D31208 = Inning
E2:E31208 = Catch
G2:U31210 = AllP

in colums A:E data is entered into rows 2, 5, & 8, etc all the way down to 31208, in every 3 cells, as every three cells are merged together. I have it set up that way b/c in G2:G31210 each row corresponds to either a Pitch (row 1, 4, 7, etc) a starting point (row 2, 5, 8, etc) and a finishing point (row 3, 6, 9, etc). I am trying to write formulas based upon the Date Range, name of Pitcher, Batter, Inning, or Catcher and where the Pitch Type (row 1, 4, 7) finished (row 3, 6, 9) for each place it started (row 2, 5, 8).

I have some drop down lists that lets the user choose the name of the pitcher, catcher, inning, or batter, and choose a date range. those cells will be referenced in the formulas that will determine the results the user is looking for.

In cell W2, I have the pitcher name the user chooses from a drop down list
In cell W3, I have the catcher name (options are All or choice of two catchers)
In cell W4, I have the Pitch Type (F, C, S, H, or All)
In cell W5, I have the Inning (options are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, or ALL)

There are 9 quadrants where I will be filtering information for, simply given numerical values 1-9. Right now I will use an example of quadrant 1.

I am trying to write formulas for the following (all entered as arrays):
1) For the most common finishing point for Pitch Types to a location (quadrant 1) I have, as an array:
=IFERROR(MODE(IF($B2:$B31210=$W$2,IF($G$2:$U$31208=$W$4,IF($G$3:$U$31209=1,IF(ISNUMBER($G$4:$U$31210 ),$G$4:$U$31210))))),"-")

This formula is figuring out most common quadrant that the pitch type in cell W4 finished in, that started in quadrant 1, for the pitcher name in cell W2. I need to add to this formula the ability to filter for inning, catcher, and batter, and date range, and I'm not sure how to do that. I also need the ability for filtering for ALL pitchers, ALL innings, ALL catchers, as well.

2) For total Pitch Types to a location (quadrant 1) I have, as an array:
=IFERROR(SUM(IF($B2:$B31210=$W$2,IF($G$2:$U$31208=$W$4,IF($G$3:$U$31209=1,$G$3:$U$31209)))),"-")

This formula is simply truing to total the number of pitch types in cell W4 for the quadrant 1 by the pitcher name in cell W2. Same as above, I need to add the ability to SUM when the user chooses a certain Catcher, Inning, Batter, Date Range, as well as the ALL function of the formula.

3) For total number of pitch type that didn't finish in same quadrant where they started
=SUMPRODUCT(($G2:$U$31208=$W$4)*($G3:$U$31209=1)*($G3:$U$31209<>$G4:$U$31210))

This formula is totaling the number of pitch type in cell W4, that finished in a zone different than quadrant 1. I need to add the ability to filter for the same as above. I have tried using this: =SUMPRODUCT(Pitcher=$W$2)*(CATCH=$W$3)*(Inning=$W$5)*(AllP=$W$4) - but it's giving me back 0 as a result. I'm wondering if it has to do w/ the merging of cells for Pitcher/Catch/Inning?

I realize this is an extremely long post and any help would be much appreciated!

Thank you so much!

p.s. I have also posted this thread on another site (http://www.excelforum.com/excel-general/773668-sumproduct-formula-help.html) for help. I am just hoping to increase my chances of assistance. I do not mean to offend anyone here.

Thank you!

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.

I have figured out the formula for filtering for Inning, Catcher, and Pitcher... I just need to figure out how to add to it, if I want ALL Pitchers or ALL Catchers, how do I add that piece to the formula...

this is the formula I have now, as an array
=IFERROR(MODE(IF($B2:$B31210=$W$2,IF($E2:$E31210=$W$3,IF($D2:$D31210=$W$5,IF($G$2:$U$31208=$W$4,IF($ G$3:$U$31209=1,IF(ISNUMBER($G$4:$U$31210),$G$4:$U$31210))))))),"-")

Which part of the formula is testing for a pitcher and fo a catcher?

Which part of the formula is testing for a pitcher and fo a catcher?

$B2:$B31210=$W$2 references the pitcher name in W2

$E2:$E31210=$W$3 references the catcher name in W3

If I am going to filter for ALL pitchers or ALL catchers, W2 and/or W3 will say ALL in the cell.

Here is a proposal...

=IFERROR(MODE(IF($B2:$B31210=IF($W$2="All",$B2:$B31210,$W$2),IF($E2:$E31210=IF($W$3="All",$E2:$E31210,$W$3),IF($D2:$D31210=$W$5,IF($G$2:$U$31208=$W$4,IF($ G$3:$U$31209=1,IF(ISNUMBER($G$4:$U$31210),$G$4:$U$31210))))))),"-")

Hope the formula has not become more inefficient.

I'm not really sure if that is what I need, but the formula is a working formula.

Please allow me to explain it and maybe it will be clearer. I have changed the cell ranges to Named Ranges so maybe it that will make more sense.

For this formula
=IFERROR(MODE(IF(PitcherName=$W$2,IF(CatcherName=$W$3,IF(Inning=$W$5,IF(AllP=$W$4,IF($G$3:$U$31209=1,IF(ISNUMBER($G$4:$U$31210),$G$4:$U$31210))))))),"-")
I am saying that calculate the MODE when the PitcherName=W2... but if I want the MODE for all the PitcherName (there are 12 of them), then W2 will say all, but the Named Range "PitcherName" will not say all in them. Basically what I am saying is there's no need to match the pitcher's name in W2 w/ the Named Range "PitcherName", so wouldn't it be best in this scenario to just drop that out of the formula and just filter for the other cells (W3, W5, etc)...

the only problem is there are a lot of combinations of using ALL (Pitcher, Catcher, Inning) could all say all. Would it be easier to set this up so there are a few cells that are just looking for those combinations all the time and when the user is trying to look at ALL it will point to those cells?

The bolded bit says: If W2 is All, disregard PitcherName altoghther, otherwise go with W2.

OK, I understand...

so if can follow that pattern with CatcherName and Inning as well then, correct?

Am I on the right track if I am using this formula that would be able to filter for All PitcherName, CatcherName, Inning, or all PitchType?

=IFERROR(MODE(IF(PitcherName=IF($W$2="All",PitcherName,$W$2),IF(CatcherName=IF($W$3="All",CatcherName,$W$3),IF(Inning=IF($W$5="All",Inning,$W$5),IF(AllP=IF($W$4="ALL",AllP,$W$4),IF($G$3:$U$31209=1,IF(ISNUMBER($G$4:$U$31210),$G$4:$U$31210))))))),"-")
