    INDEX Partial MATCH and Total

    Afternoon guys

    I am trying to partial match using INDEX MATCH and think I am almost there

    In the example (see attachment) I want to find all the "Food Shop" in November so I was trying to partial match using "*nov*" and then I need all the matches added together

    Can anyone see where I have gone wrong?

    Thanks!

    Jonny

    Try

    =SUMPRODUCT(--(D1:D11=I11),--(TEXT(B1:B11,"mmm")=I10),F1:F11)

    Change I11 to just Nov (no *'s)


    Will you also need to account for the year?

    Do you mean like a year to date? That would be amazing if possible!

    No, what I meant was in column B, if you have dates from multiple years.
    Say you have 11/15/2014 and 11/15/2013
    Should they both be counted, or only the 2014 ?

    I assume you mean they should both becounted...
    No adjustments required then..

    Also, just a heads up.
    Make sure the date range you're using doesn't contain blanks.
    They would be counated as January.

    This shouldn't be a problem, since you have a 2nd criteria "Food Shop"
    Presumably if the date is blank, then the column D would be blank as well..

    Re: INDEX Partial MATCH and Total

    Morning guys

    The sumproduct formula really slows down my spreadsheet is there another way round this? I have seen similar problems use INDEX MATCH however I am not that clued up on the function I must be close with this formula

    =INDEX(F:F,MATCH("Nov",IF(C:C=I11,B:B),0))??

    Thanks guys!

    Don't use whole columns reference in SUMPRODUCT.

    Alternative you can use a helper(and hidden if you like) column with this formula

    and then a SUMIF to get your result.

    Re: INDEX Partial MATCH and Total

    That is soooo much better! I used the full columns as this is a data sheet that will be entered for many years I set it to the first 1000 entries is there a way the formula can take only the rows of the table perhaps a dynamic range?

    I believe is better to use whole columns reference in SUMIF, rather than to create dynamic ranges. There is no reason for that.
