    DSUM with a variable cell reference to another cell?

    So what I want isn't complicated to explain, but apparently difficult to achieve.

    I have a spreadsheet with several pages. On one is the main orders page, each has an email address listed. Next I have a page that lists giveaways by email. Lastly I have a customer page, again with emails.

    Now, on the customer page, I'd like to show total number of orders based on criteria. DSUM works great if I want to do one field for this... but I want to populate this same field for 3,000+ customers without having to make 3,000 criteria table arrays because of the email address!

    Currently I have it verify PAYSTATUS as well as CITY for the DSUM because I do list it by city, but I want to have the criteria search their email address. Is there any way to put a reference in the criteria table to reference current cell's(where the function is) first column? Like =A[ROW].

    Any help would be appreciated.

    ** I've done Sum with nested if statements, and that works until I put this spreadsheet up on Google docs for others to access it... then that fails. So I'm looking for other solutions.

    Thanks again.

    Hi, welcome to the forum

    Im sure that DSUM() has it's place, but it has been "replaced" with the sumifS() function. Give it a shot, the syntax is...

    =sumifS(sum-range, criteria-range1,criteria1,criteria-range2,criteria2,criteria-range3,criteria3.....................)

    If you still have a problem, upload a small (clean) sample workbook (not a pic) of what you are working with, and what your expected outcome would look like.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
