Is there a way I can use sumproduct in Microsoft Excel to select multiple values in a column?

Time:06-13

I would like to use sumproduct (open to any other method as well) in excel to filter array values from a data table. Instead of just filtering a column for a single value, I want to filter column D for whether each row value "is in" the values in column A. Here is a sample of my data:

A C D E F
Algebra II 127281693 Algebra II T1 97
Physics 127281693 Physics YR 89
AP US History 127281693 AP US History F1 78
Korean III 127281693 Korean III YR 64
127281694 Tutoring YR 87
127281694 AP Computer Science A YR 99
127281694 Algebra II YR 81
127281694 Biology F3 78
127281694 Biology YR 59

I am using the following formula to filter for C = 127281694, D = Algebra II, E = YR, and F < 100: =SUMPRODUCT(($C$2:$C$10=127281694)*($D$2:$D$10=$A$2)*($E$2:$E$10="YR")*($F$2:$F$10<100)*1). The formula correctly returns the value of 1, as there is one row that meets these conditions.

Instead of filtering for just D = Algebra II, I want to filter if D "is in" a list of values, such as {"Algebra II", "Physics", "AP US History", "Korean III"}, so that the array will return all rows where column D = Algebra II OR Physics OR AP US History OR Korean III. Does anyone know a solution for this problem?

You could add another column to check if the respective single row value of column D XMATCHes with any row of column A. Then use this new column as another criteria in your formula.

If it works out, you can integrate it directly into your formula w/o having the additional column.

CodePudding user response:

This probably has to be entered as an Screenshot illustrating proposed formula

(I chose an alternative value for C so that there would be more than 1 result)

CodePudding user response:

If you want to filer all rows that D column contain values from column A then use below formula-

=FILTER(B1:E9,COUNTIFS(A1:A4,C1:C9))

From your given formula in post. You can use below formula to return rows as per multiple criteria (Yellow highlighted).

=FILTER(B1:E9,COUNTIFS(A1:A4,C1:C9)*(B1:B9=127281694)*(D1:D9="YR")*(E1:E9<100))
