    Calculate the sum of a dynamic filtered list in each column

    I would like to utilize the dynamic array functionality and create a formula that calculates the sum based on two criteria.

    The formula that I have in N3 = SUM(FILTER(FILTER(H3#,H2#=N2),(G3#=M3))). Is there a way to make this spill down and to the right?

    I have Office 365, but do not have the LAMBDA function.

    Welcome to the forum.

    LAMBDA is available on the insider programme - join up and you'll get it now.

    Is this just an exercise in using the new functions, or would an older approach do?

    Re: Calculate the sum of a dynamic filtered list in each column

    I am on a corporate machine and I believe they have blocked access to the insider program and this will be a shared report amongst other users that also will not have the LAMBDA function.

    I am trying to create a dynamic report, the number of rows and columns could vary greatly. So I am trying to avoid dragging the formula.

    If there is an older approach that accomplishes this then yes that works for me!

    Re: Calculate the sum of a dynamic filtered list in each column

    You can't spill this, but paste it into the top left cell:

    =SUMPRODUCT(($G$3#=$M3)*($H$2#=N$2),$H$3#)

    Then select that cell - CTRL+C - select the entire range - right-click - paste special - formulae.

    Or just drag it. Sorry!

    Re: Calculate the sum of a dynamic filtered list in each column

    If I alter the formula in N3 to be =FILTER(FILTER(H3#,H2#=N2#),(G3#=M3)) it spills to the four columns. Instead of getting the data for each column, I would like for it to give me the sum of each column.

    Are you saying that this is not possible?

    Thanks!

    That’s not the formula I gave you, though, is it?

    The original post asked if there is a way to avoid dragging the formula.

    In your post, you said your formula has to be dragged or copied.

    I have provided some more detail to show what I am hoping to accomplish.

    Are you thinking that it could be modified to accomplish what I want?

    No. I asked if an older approach would do and you said that it would.

    I don’t know enough yet about the new dynamic formulae to say that it’s not possible, but I have not been able to do it.

    I have given a solution that requires copying the old way. That’s the best I have - sorry

    Re: Calculate the sum of a dynamic filtered list in each column

    So some compromise will be needed if you want a spilled array for your sums; we can unpivot your Dataset and then use SUMIFS on the unpivoted data.

    In your example spreadsheet you create spilled formulas that replicate the layout of your dataset; try replacing that with this formula in H2:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Then you can just SUMIFs on the spilled unpivoted data in N3:
