Hello all,

I'm hoping someone can help as I've driven myself insane trying to get to the bottom of it. I have a csv file (attached) that is delivered to me and I am hoping to utilise the info to complete an alternative spreadsheet.

As you can see I am looking to use the 3 letter CODE (eg BDJ in column B) to identify my target and need the TOTAL in Column E.

I thought I was successful using the simple =VLOOKUP(H2,$B$2:$F$300,5,TRUE). Unfortunately though it wasn't the case. Some of the requests return a correct value, but some don't. I think it may be due to there being a variable amount of rows with the same code

I've tried INDEX too but no luck there either. This only returns the value when there is only one code.

Please help!
?

Excel Facts

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
Sort by date Sort by votes
Try . . .

G2, confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, and copied down:

=INDEX($F$2:$F$283,MATCH(1,IF($B$2:$B$283=G2,IF(LEN($F$2:$F$283)>0,1)),0))

However, if you're using Dynamic Excel, you can use the following formula instead . . .

G2, confirmed with just ENTER, and copied down:

=INDEX(FILTER(B$2:$F$283,(B$2:$B$283=G2)*(LEN(F$2:$F$283)>0)),5)

By the way, you should update your profile and specify which version of Excel you're using so that in future a solution can be offered accordingly.

Hope this helps!

You could probably just use SUMIF. In H2, put

Excel Formula: 
=SUMIF($B$2:$B$283,G2,$E$2:$E$283)

and drag down.

Well, I suppose taking the easy way makes sense.

Works a treat. Thank you. Can't believe I missed it.

Which method would you choose to try and keep an already heavily loaded sheet performing well?

Also, if I changed it to calculate column F instead of E would it not perform better as it only has the total value which is what I require?

You could change it to column F instead of E and it should work the same. I doubt you'd see much performance improvement (if at all) since it'll still have to look at each individual row. The xxIF functions are all pretty efficient though, I don't think it would add a lot of overhead even to a large workbook.

Let us know if you do see any issues though, and we'll take another look. Glad we could help!
