Conditional Formula based upon multiple columns

**KsuGuy26** · 04-01-2013, 02:38 PM

I am compiling data with thousands of entries. I need an itemized result based upon a person's name and the sum of a subcategory under their name-

Example:

A B C D
Person 1 100 XM CSR
Person 1 100 CC_Consumer
Person 1 -50 XM CSR
Person 1 -25 CC_Consumer
Total 200 -75

Turn the preceding data into:
Person 1 Totals
XM CSR 50
CC_Consumer 25

There are a lot of different people and several categories. I would use =sumif(A:A,A10,B:B)-sumif(A:A,A10,C:C) if I didn't need it also dependent on Column D.

So I need the formula to subtract the sum of all values in C that match specific names in A and D from the sum of all values of B that match specific values of A and D.

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook. The workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

To attach a file to your post,
click advanced (next to quick post),
scroll down until you see "manage file",
click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
