Hi All,
Having a hard time building a formula that will work for my situation.
I will be downloading a report month-over-month in which the source data columns can expand or contract based on details that occur that month.
But I need to populate a static template.
My goal is to leave a tab to copy/paste the source data from my system and have a "Summary" tab containing the static template to sumif or pull the data from the source data tab based on the column headers on the source data tab.
Reason I want to use the column headers on the source data tab is because the columns can shift and move month-over-month so your standard sumif formula won't work as I don't want to have to adjust the column the formula is looking at each month.
When selecting the criteria ranges I'd like to be able to look at the entire column for row matching criteria and select the entire header row for column criteria instead of restricting myself to a specific cell range but I get an excel resource limitation error.
I could do a compounding vlookup formula since the rows shouldn't duplicate but looking for a cleaner formula.
This example is very simplified. I will have over 4,000 rows and over 50 columns of data.
Game plan is to simply copy/paste the source data on the source tab and let summary tab template update itself.
I've tried sumifs, index/match & sumproduct formulas but no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks
