    Displaying wrong result on SUMIFS due to space in left

    Hi,

    I am facing a problem with the matching that is not producing the desired results.It might be due to the spaces in left hand side of each.The below formula I am using.

    How can I revised the above said formula so that perfect match can be done which is currently is due to spaces.

    Thanking you in anticipation.

    Try: =SUMIFS(DO!$Y$2:$Y$431,DO!$A$2:$A$431,"*"&SO!B2,DO!$T$2:$T$431,"*"&SO!A2,DO!$V$2:$V$431,"*"&SO!V2,DO!$X$2:$X$431,"*"&SO!AJ2)

    Where are the spaces?
    What does your data look like?
    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
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Re: Displaying wrong result on SUMIFS due to space in left

    Dear Sir,

    The data is exported from a software where it has more than 3000 data.The problem I have been facing is that of spaces in extreme left.It is clear that above mentioned formula I am using and on using trim to each it is creating an error.

    You don't need to post the whole file with 1000's of rows of data.

    Just enough data to demonstrate the problem. 20 rows worth of data is plenty.

    The above formula is perhaps not working.

    Re: Displaying wrong result on SUMIFS due to space in left

    Your data is a mess!

    You have leading space characters in some cells and some cells have as many as 173 space characters in them.

    In the SO sheet column AJ has many leading spaces and in the DO sheet column X has both leading spaces and cells full of spaces.

    I ran the macro at this link to remove them.

    The macro at that link will remove all leading/trailing
    and multiple interspersed char 32 space characters.
    It will also remove and/or convert char 160 non breaking
    spaces into standard char 32 space characters. It will
    work on text or numbers and the numbers will be
    converted to true numeric numbers.

    I use this macro dozens of times every single day!
    It's a real time saver.

    In addition, most of your data cells are formatted as TEXT. This includes numeric values.

    You should avoid applying type formats as much as possible.

    Re: Displaying wrong result on SUMIFS due to space in left

    I Have another

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Can you let me know,what is the difference in this(taking a lot of time in large data) and above Post 10 (as you said) and which one is better that can do perfect match ?

    The purpose of using above formula is to get the report in a separate sheet of Y column of SO & Y column of DO by matching :

    SO sheet - A,B,V,AJ and get in one column of Y output (Gross qty)
    DO sheet -A,T,V,X and get in another column of Y output (Gross qty)
    And getting the differences in third column.For this I am using Pivot table after using above formula

    Also suggest me if there is an alternative and best method.

    Thanx again for your kind support.

    Re: Displaying wrong result on SUMIFS due to space in left

    I'm not a programmer so I can't tell you if one is better than the other.

    One is more extensive, that's for sure!
