Hi
I need a formula to bring back a cost based on a date and category. The categories have two costs between a different range of dates. I have attached an example to help explain.
I tried =lookup formula but it didn't work, it seemed to stop at the first cost amount from the category it found.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Presuming there is no overlap, you could use a SUMIFS. Since it would only find 1 entry the "SUM" would be the same thus pulling your value.
Alternatively, and likely more complicated, you could potentially use a multi condition lookup. This is usually something like INDEX(MATCH and then concatenate the MATCH lookup values and ranges. However this is compunded by wanting to look for a date between others, not an exact date.
Try these:
B4 =SUMIFS(D8:D15,B8:B15,"<="&B2,C8:C15,">="&B2,A8:A15,B3)
F4 =SUMIFS(D8:D15,B8:B15,"<="&F2,C8:C15,">="&F2,A8:A15,F3)
Thank you 63falcondude, that works perfectly.
Thanks Zer0Cool
You're welcome. Thanks for the rep!
Try this array formula inB4.. and a variant in the other cell. However, i'm not convinced that your example is represenatative, so more work may be needed:
=INDEX($D$8:$D$15,MATCH(1,($B$2>=$B$8:$B$15)*(B2<=$C$8:$C$15)*($A$8:$A$15=$B$3),0))
Array Formulae are a little different from ordinary formulae in that they MUST be confirmed in the FIRST CELL ONLY by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. After that, the array can be dragged down as normal, to cover the desired range.
You will know the array is active when you see curly brackets { } - or "curly braces" for those of you in the USA, or "flower brackets" for those of you in India - appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will (almost always) get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.
Don't type the curly brackets yourself - it won't work...
