    SUMIF help, how to use SUMIF with 2D data

    I am trying to put together a report of POS data using more complex formulas. Here is a short example:

    Segment Wk 1 Wk 2 Wk 3 Wk 4 Wk 5 Wk 6 Wk 7 Wk 8 Wk 9 Wk 10 Wk 11 Wk 12
    Car $10,170 $11,177 $12,329 $12,890 $12,985 $14,199 $13,226 $14,707 $14,627 $14,547 $13,721 $15,957
    Car $10,793 $11,663 $13,395 $13,207 $13,999 $13,648 $12,759 $14,077 $13,084 $14,849 $14,336 $15,764
    Doll $625 $613 $816 $902 $1,053 $979 $970 $1,244 $1,035 $893 $776 $1,195
    Doll $413 $471 $690 $798 $767 $653 $807 $825 $810 $847 $829 $939
    Coloring $3,581 $3,671 $5,509 $5,390 $5,408 $5,058 $5,130 $6,007 $5,397 $5,184 $4,220 $4,848
    Coloring $376 $542 $906 $1,075 $1,060 $915 $893 $859 $585 $561 $450 $474
    Coloring $1,405 $1,692 $2,171 $2,485 $2,165 $1,833 $2,024 $2,419 $1,914 $1,818 $1,594 $1,872


    I need to get a sum of the last 4 wks, 12 wks, and YTD of each segment. I have all the data on one sheet, and a chart on another, like this:

    Latest 4 wks Latest 12 wks YTD
    Cars $85,457 $335,401 $814,219
    Dolls $69,492 $410,343 $1,020,006
    Coloring $116,702 $399,997 $927,207


    I am been just manually selecting the data using the SUM function, but I'm sure there's an easier and quicker way to do it, since I have to make this report weekly with updated data.

    I've tried using =SUMIF('pos data'!B2:b8,a3,'pos data'!C2:c3)+SUMIF('pos data'!B2:b8,a3,'pos data'!D2:D3)+SUMIF('pos data'!B2:b8,a3,'pos data'!E2:e3)...and so on for 12 wks, In English, if Data Sheet column B=Cars, add C2 and C3 (wk 1), then if Data Sheet column B=Cars, add d2 and d3 (wk 2), and so on, and then add all those answers together again, which works but gets really lengthy!.

    I have also tried =SUMIF('pos data'!B2:b8,a3,'pos data'!C2:N3), which will only add the first column (C2 + C3) together, not the whole 2D section.

    What should I do to fix this? Maybe an array, but I can't figure out how to incorporate this.

    Thanks!

    Hi Kizatie, welcome to the forum.

    SUMPRODUCT should work for you in this case. See the attached workbook for an example, and let us know if you need additional assistance figuring out the formula(s) needed. If you look in the formulas on the Summary tab in row 2, the only thing that changes is the last column reference.

    $C$2:$F$8, $C$2:$N$8, $C$2:$AB$8 (I made up that last one since you didn't have weekly data out to column AB.)

    Hope that helps!

    I'm sorry, Paul. This does not work. I need to use some sort of IF function, because I need to reference the SEGMENT column. When new products some out, there may be 3 cars instead of 2, or 1 car instead of 2 if a product is discontinued. Plus, I don't need a product. I just need a sum.

    It doesn't matter how many instances of Car or Doll or Coloring exist, it will only sum up the columns C:?? if column B is the same as the value in your summary table field.

    It's not doing a "PRODUCT" in the normal sense of the word, so my guess is you're unfamiliar with the function and how it works. The "PRODUCT" part of this is multiplying by 1 or 0, whether the condition is met or not.

    If it's not working for you, upload a copy of your workbook here and note where you want to see the totals and what they should be if you manually calculated them.
